Nonsense. Look at the renown book collectors in this country, free thinkers with a real grasp of culture and history. If there’s data on their political affiliations, I’d like to see it. (Hint: DeSantis isn’t one of them.)
Post-retirement, hubby and I have gotten rid of countless books, only a few boxes of favorites remaining that I am rereading and donating. Didn’t want our kids having to dispose of them someday as I had to do with my parents’ library.
He who hesitates is lost.
