General Discussion

My spouse and I are progressive and live in a centrist-leaning city in CA. We have a little library in front of our house, and we make a point of keeping explicitly political and/or religious material out of it. If a neighbor puts anything in there that might be construed as political/religious, we remove it immediately, even if we agree with beliefs being expressed. We want our library to be for the whole community, not just those who are on “our side”.

Don’t get me wrong - I truly hate what the MAGA mindset is doing to our country. But if we’re ever going to recover a sense of broader community, we need to preserve some neutral spaces where we can find common ground.
