If you are a student of US history, take note: the Temperance movement of the early 20th century that led to Prohibition started under similar banners. These people are deadly serious.
Don’t sleep on seemingly-harmless populist movements. They resonate in the ballot box, and then it’s all “oh shit where did my rights go??”

I’ve run into this group over the years, they are white religious women who want to erode public schools and force conservative controlled charter schools on the masses. They are quite batty, but their plans fall into the evil camp.
