Actual Moms for Liberty

Most of you have probably heard of Moms for Liberty, the extremist pro-Trump group that has been pushing for book bans and anti-LGBTQ legislation for a while now. Last year, an Indiana chapter of the group infamously quoted Hitler in their newsletter (ominously named THE PARENT BRIGADE), featuring the line “He alone, who OWNS the youth, GAINS the future” right at the top of the front page with an attribution to The Führer. The group apologized and condemned Hitler, for whatever that’s worth. This little faux pas came up recently on social media, which got me thinking about a cartoon idea I’ve had for a while, envisioning what actual moms for liberty might say. Because let’s face it, Hitler was the opposite of freedom for a lot of people.
