          Libraries have free books. That takes profit from Amazon.

          Libraries have free Internet. That takes profit from ISPs.

          Libraries have free research tools and expert guidance from librarians. That takes profit from all sorts of companies that profit off your ignorance.

          And worst of all, that stuff is all publicly funded, so when you look at a library you see government helping people. And there’s nothing conservatives hate more than government that helps people.
