I just cannot believe that a Marxist lesbian who believes that collective power is possible to build and can be wielded for a better world is president elect of ALA. I am so excited for what we will do together. Solidarity. And my mom is so proud. I love you mom.
Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face. Though since most of the picks are from governor Gianforte, I can’t say I’m surprised.
That guy isn’t exactly the sharpest tool in the shed. I’m just sad the Montana I knew and loved was usurped by some out of towner who is totally altering the fabric and culture of that state from a “live and let live” to more of a Idaho-like place. He’s desecrating our state.
Of course it’s just more performative MAGA nonsense, cutting off the nose to spite the face and calling it “owning the libs.”
These people wouldn’t know Marxist ideology if it slapped them across the face, it’s just another buzzword in the same vein as “socialist” and “leftist” and “communist” (read: “anything I don’t like”).
The constant aggressive anti-intellectualism is exhausting.
I think “owning the libs” is a desirable side-effect and not their main goal.
Their main goal is to keep the lower class voters ignorant and uneducated so that history can be denied and they can be more easily manipulated into voting for right wingers using appeals to emotion (e.g. hatred, racism, patriotism, way of life). This is of course to keep power where it is.
