They already banning books in USA…

They didn’t say the US has banned books at the federal level. Book bans are book bans, and the US has book bans.

You just said there’s no banned books and then said there’s banned books.
Its hair splitting. Libraries are controlled by a variety of institutions, sometimes non-profits or municipalities. The 1st amendment prevents the federal government from banning protected speech, but private entities can do what they like. (like moderators on a forum).

So you’re saying or not saying that there are books banned within the USA?

Unless you’re going to use the “from a certain point of view” argument, this is demonstrably false.
That’s the thing tho, they are doing these bannings at low level places like those to get those books already out of as many places as they can while maintaining a veil of legitimacy as they haven’t done in a national level, therefore they aren’t “banning bonds” just like you’re argumentive, but the effect is not too dissimilar from banning them at a federal level, less people are getting access to critical information that allows them to learn of how evil the government has been and currently is
