I give NPR some of the credit for waking me. I would listen on weekend trips to Vermont. It's one of few stations that come in while driving through the mountains. I found it easy to listen to as most shows sounded like books on tape. I was already questioning many things reported by the media about Trump and found they went beyond simply exaggerating his comments. This was par for all media, including NPR. It wasn't until I heard a piece where they were defending the movie Cuties as some sort of coming of age story, that I realized just how warped they were. Once I saw them through that lens, I quickly saw the propaganda in all their messaging. It's embarrassing to admit I didn't always see it.
The American Library Association is a captured institution. The incoming president is a self proclaimed lesbian critical pedagogist. As a librarian of 23 years I can’t stress this enough---librarians are organized, adaptable, aggressive and dangerous. I attended the ALA conference in 2015 in SF and worked directly with the SFPL. Critical pedagogy was not being pushed. The Marxists in the libraries effectively took control in 7 years.

I'm impressed that you ultimately did. Puts you in rare company, sadly.
