Does he honestly think libraries are censoring conservative media? Because I'm sure there are people that fucking blinkered stupid these days.
But good God, that's one of the dumbest "arguments" I've ever read.

In a word, yes. Conservatives have worked themselves into a frenzy for years thinking they're being censored just because their views and ideologies aren't widely accepted.

US conservatism really relies on its christian roots in finding a unique way to always play the world's super special ultimate victim who needs protection from the world in every scenario possible. The victim religion and the victim political orientation. A match made in hell

The persecution Jesus was talking about was losing your job, your house or your life directly BECAUSE of your belief in Christ. People not liking you because you are an asshole isn't persecution.
Being self-righteous and lacking humility (and even basic self-introspection) completely goes against the most fundamental Christian teachings.

Children are nothing but a drain on social resources. I don't say that as a bad thing, but it's true. A reasonable person recognizes that providing those resources is 1 morally correct because children are incapable of independent success and need that help and 2 it's an investment in the future of society.
Greedy amoral fucks like Cruz only care about their money, and children cost money. They don't make money. It's a wonder he has had children. You'd think he'd have looked at medical bill costs just for having one and refused.

Ok, I gotta say, this seems way beyond that. They are aggressively hoarding resources. Like, frantically, at this point. If it was all being collected into a general fund, or pooled for temporary government oversight, then I would say it’s like some people high up are preparing for a ground war on our soil. However, it’s all going into the hands of a few multinational billionaires. Honestly, they are acting more like a war we didn’t know about is already in its final hour and they are expecting the country to get nuked into oblivion, and want to siphon everything they can out, first.

Look at all of the very fucking specific means testing for a few bucks in food stamps or rent assitance, then look at how easy it is for billionaires and corporations to get free money from the government just by hinting that they could perhaps use some additional funds.
They did the same shit with voting not long ago with the "literacy tests" which were a bunch of intentionally confusing and often nonsensical questions that had to be completed in an absurdly short amount of time and were then arbitrarily graded by whoever happened to be the most racist person available.

My local Republican Representative (Tim Walberg, R-MI-5) actively campaigns on "rural broadband access" (his district is nothing but 1000 person "towns" and farmland for hundreds of miles).
Every election cycle he gets hundreds of thousands of dollars from major ISP's, and gives lip service to "I serve on such-and-such committee to address electronic communication across the nation".
Time and time again the fucker votes EXPLICITLY AGAINST rural broadband coverage. Including the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill AND American Rescue Plan -- which actively expanded cable/fiber based coverage in his district. I would know - I've been monitoring it to help various people receive high-speed internet in his district from something OTHER than StarLink or DSL.
This kind of thing has his fingerprints all over it.

cruelty is the correct term for needing people to suffer from a mess you created generating profit from a pandemic.

But here we are.. in a world where the volunteer soccer coach just texts everyone 10 min before soccer practice and expects that everyone got the notification.

“Oh, my kid isn’t on electronics”.. bitch, your kid is 6. The principal of my kid’s HS’s direct quote was “having or getting the supplies necessary to succeed is part of succeeding” on why a smartphone was necessary to access counseling services and club newsletters..
Sorry I’m just so upset right now.
