Is that a venn diagram or a circle?
Lately I prefer the term "regressives" as I feel it is more accurate than "conservative".
Calling Republicans conservatives is just factually inaccurate. I've been doing the same for a while now. The current conservative party members are the establishment Democrats.
Fuck Texas. Shitty backwards ass stupid place.
Hey! I'm from Texas! And if they'd taught me to read, I'm sure I'd be offended by that second sentence too!
ha, dont tread on us, but we'll be happy to tread on you

To kill a mockingbird??
Seriously!
One of the greatest written pieces of literature ever put to paper!
No no no. Sorry. We can't let the children read about racism.
Librarians and teachers are doing the good work out there. I wish our society (US) would do a better job of recognizing how important they are and just let them do their job without having to deal with all this culture war bullshit
That’s Texas freedom for you.
Hey Patrick! What am I now?
Uhhh...stupid?
No, I'm Texas!
What's the difference?
Once again racing Florida to the bottom.
Backward degenerates.
Is there a total list somewhere? I know there is a picture of a bunch of books at the top but are these the ones specifically from Texas?
