#Libertarians Took Control of This Small Town in #NewHampshire. It Didn’t End Well.
A new book shows the troubling consequences of #GraftonNH’s anti-government experiment.
"Today, we are all living in Grafton. Armies of rabid bears are wandering through our streets, clawing at our window screens, and gnashing their teeth at our children while the phone rings unanswered at the state department of fish and game. The old village church is erupting in flames, but someone has slashed the tires on our town’s lone fire truck, and the fire hydrants—unmaintained for a decade—have all run dry. Terrified, we beg our neighbors for help, only to be told that the Lord will protect us, or that the cataclysm in the streets is just punishment for our moral failures or our political misdeeds."
by Elizabeth Austin
August 30, 2020Excerpt: "Certainly, the author is not alone in finding cause for amusement in Grafton’s funny little basket of deplorables. For years now, reporters and pundits have chosen to focus on the style, rather than the policy substance, of the growing #LibertarianRight. Again and again, we read stories of rural rubes clad head to toe in #MAGA swag, hunched over chipped cutlery in dingy diners, wielding biscuits to wipe the last of the sausage gravy from their oversized plates while vociferously proclaiming that taxation is theft and inveighing against the nanny state. In choosing to shoot these red, white, and blue fish in a barrel, Hongoltz-Hetling is in very good company.
"But had the author not chosen snark over substance, his book could have served as a peculiarly timely cautionary tale, because the conflicting philosophical principles that drive this story are central to understanding American politics today. The differences between the libertarian stumblebums who moved to Grafton and the staff of the #Koch-funded #CatoInstitute are mostly sartorial. And the sad outcomes of Grafton’s wacky social experiment are now being repeated in American communities every single day. "

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The federal Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy, accompanied by the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., today held a press conference at which they announced a new federal regulation that purports to pre-empt all federal and state law that make use of seatbelts mandatory on trains, planes, buses, and private vehicles, on the grounds of YOU'RE NOT MY REAL MOM! Spokespersons for the two agencies hid under their desks while yelling "No obbla inglays!".

Fascism is a persistent threat to democracy. It’s bizarre & profoundly sad when some of our Canadian alt-rightists fly the flag of the Confederacy (and of the Third Reich) alongside banners demanding “freedom.”
