Also on NPR this morning, they realized that the book banners and burners might be a serious threat to literacy and free speech and thought in this country.

How neo-Nazi groups reacted to Trump’s false claims about Haitians in Springfield
Well, it is damn near October in an election year and NPR just figured out that the GOP is running a white supremacist for president (and pretty much all the way down the ballot). I mean, even the North Carolina gubernatorial candidate is a self-professed “black Nazi”.
