      Also, book banners are fascists who won’t stop at books.

        You only say that because it has been 100% true throughout history.

      They never apply it consistently either. Ever read the bible, beyond the few verses constantly repeated in church? That thing is NSFW as all hell, and should never be shown to kids.

    Sarah Huckabee Sanders has been the worst thing to happen to this state in a while. I live here but she has really changed things here.

    For being in the south, Arkansas is/was fairly libertarian and more aligned with western states as far as government was concerned, but for the last few years it has really regressed.
