And it was in a campaign ad.

Honestly never thought I'd live to see a day when burning books - an act that has always been symbolic of fear, ignorance, and oppression - could be offered up as a positive to an electorate.

But here we are.

Policies are complicated to explain, hard to sell and open to questioning.

Why bother, when your constituency will get all excited over weapons-based performances like this?

Religion. Many of this country's Evangelical Christians think they have a divine mandate to hate members of the LGBT community. Even if she's not a true believer herself, she's pandering to those who are.

Because Republicans are okay with it. This is what the party is now, and it's only going to get worse.

A sign with what appears to be the words, liberal tears, was attached to the flamethrower Gomez used to admittedly destroy public property. Intentionally burning library books could be considered a crime.

"Could be"?
Also, isn't owning a flamethrower against the law, too?
Like, I swear there were jokes that, "eventually the NRA will make flamethrowers legal", implying they hadn't yet succeeded.

According to Wikipedia:

In the United States, private ownership of a flamethrower is not restricted by federal law, because a flamethrower is a tool, not a firearm. Flamethrowers are legal in 48 states and restricted in California and Maryland.

Oh burning queer "grooming" books is fine, but I want to burn actual grooming and propaganda books like a bible or whatever and suddenly that's a no no.

You think thats madness, just wait until you discover that up until a couple decades ago, you could actually buy dynamite at your local hardware store without having to have a permit or show a license.

But it's a federal crime, caught on camera. Surely not even an R can protect her there. She can't just say "nuh-uh" when charged and nothing happens.

......right?

"A flamethrower is not a firearm" they say about a device whose sole purpose is to shoot fire .

Technically, any weapon can be classified as a "tool"
