I mean sure, but what you're talking about is the now inevitable collapse of American society. Yeah once the fascists start bombing civil services and destroy town halls to consolidate power things will be bad. I don't believe saying "No" to these book bans and having the entire library shut down today is going to prevent that reality though.

    So you wait for the roof to collapse before you fix the leak?

    More like the leak in the library is nothing compared to the massive holes elsewhere that should be focused on first since the library at least works still.

    And these other holes will destroy the library along with everything else first.

    In your analogy, there is no fixing the leak. They're already shooting civilians in the streets, the whole dam has burst at this point. The kinda action that is necessary to fix this now isn't trying to stand up to book bans, it's getting armed and tackling the rotten core of the country.
