What is dystopian about the alleged "progressive agenda" here?

Mental health metrics have been declining for adolescents, and things like global warming anxiety and gender dysphoria are increasing in a way that some think is socially mediated and counter productive.

"Liberals aren't ignoring climate change enough and it's harming children" is certainly one take...

equally dystopian agenda? One side is removing all books that aren't on a whitelist.

Am I mistaken in understanding that this “White list” is actually a large collection of white lists, and each district’s librarians curate their district’s list?

Wouldn't that be even worse? A teacher could get a felony for having a book that their neighboring school can read. Hyper local laws being felonies sounds incredibly dangerous. How often are the lists updated and how likely is it for the teacher to be operating on the correct list?

I oppose “progressive” censorship just as much.

"Equally dystopian"... how exactly?

> equally dystopian agenda they’re pushing on kids

Please elaborate.

Progressives are not responsible for the actions their opponents choose to take, or the justifications they use when taking them.

Yeah, I thought the GOP was all about freedom?

People forget there are more than one kind of freedom.

Example: I believe states should be small, physically, so their laws are relevant locally. But since several megacountries do exist, I prefer those countries to have "freedom" in the sense where locals can do whatever laws are relevant to them, even if those local laws include censorship or other nonfree things.

Under this definition everything is freedom, you just get to pick your scale. "Freedom" in the sense that a dictator is free to pick whatever laws they feel like that day, even if it includes subjugation and other nonfree things.

That hasn’t been the case since Lincoln died.

(Not that the other party is much better)

Let's not pretend both parties are equally bad. There is a lot wrong with the Democratic Party, and with the US political system in general, but the Republicans rushing to turn the US into a fascist dystopia. There are degrees of bad, and the GOP is significantly worse at this point.

"I'm hitting you because you made me do it" certainly seems to be a popular take among social conservatives.
