Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Summary

Project 2025, a manifesto supported by the conservative Heritage Foundation, calls for a ban on pornography, labeling its purveyors as criminals and advocating for strict penalties, including jail time for producers and registered sex offender status for educators distributing it.

The manifesto argues that porn lacks First Amendment protection, framing it as harmful and exploitative.

With a right-leaning Supreme Court, proponents aim to overturn existing protections established in Miller v. California, potentially impacting mainstream media.

Donald Trump has pledged to bring Project 2025 contributors onto his team.

Do it.

Fuck around and find out.

The sad thing is, the nation will care more about porn than abortion rights. 🤦‍♂️

And again, the US totally failed to learn from history. This time, even their own history. Do you actually have history classes in school, or has this been replaced by "American" "football" or "Cheerleading" classes already?

Hint: I'm talking about 1920 to 1933, when organized crime in the US was thriving like mad due to a similar stupid idea. This time, it won't be any better. Keywords: Volstead Act and Cullen-Harrison Act

It makes me wonder what the rest of the country outside my state is even learning. When I was in high school, it felt like WW2 was the ONLY history being taught in regular history class. I had to take an elective, AP, European history class just to learn something other than the American revolution, the civil war, civil rights movement, women's sufferage, and WW2.

Oh man do I ever hope they ban porn in the US. That would be fucking hilarious.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

That's a terrible way to think

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

If you don’t think the incel groups that are super pro trump getting their porn privileges revoked isn’t funny as fuck, you’re wrong.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Incels do not consume legal porn. That why they are so fucked up.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago

What? Streaming porn is not illegal.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago

As hard as you try you can never stop people from posting porn on the internet. It would be as big of a disaster as the war on drugs.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

If porn is made illegal, only criminals will have porn.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 hours ago

The Americans can choose between Vlad's Russia, CCP China, 1979 Iran and All of the Above. WTF, the fucking Nazis did not ban porn.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 hours ago

Cannot wait for black market porn. lmao
I have a couple friends that already distribute.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago

VPN sponsor spots are going to contain a lot of eyebrow wiggling with references to censored content

[–] [email protected] 47 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

The porn ban will just be the excuse they use to crack down on VPNs so they can implement a full on Chinese style internet censorship program.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Goof luck for the companies depending on VPNs...but hey, Donnie's going to crash the economy anyway, so why fret.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 hours ago

Tank it purposefully and then say he's the only one who can fix it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 hours ago

They're doing their own version of Iranian revolution aren't they.

People who voted for Trump after he won:

The same people after he declare porn illegal.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 16 hours ago

So? The president is a felon. Crime is legal.

[–] [email protected] 81 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

I hope they actually do it. This is like the abortion issue, if they actually go through with it people will be like "What?? How could this happen??"

[–] [email protected] 23 points 17 hours ago (3 children)

Considering the countrybas a whole didn't learn from 2016, there is absolutely no way anything would change.

Good luck! Literally all his fan base are probably rabid porn junkies.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 13 hours ago

Ironically, they're also significantly more likely to watch transgender porn. People are weird and stupid.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago

I'm sure they'll get a secret pass.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Download all the porn right now before it gets banned

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

step 1) download 20TB of porn

step 2) build a $8k AI server that will train on all the porn

step 3)????

step 4) endlessly beat your meat until it falls off

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

I'd forgo porn before i utilized AI for it.
That's just gross.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

i grew up in an era where if you squinted and cocked your head a bit, hey... doesn't that look like a tit?

when you're sad and horny, you'll fap to just about anything.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago

You might. I'll just use my imagination.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

I have been downloading porn since 2001. Fear not!

registered sex offender status for educators distributing it

If a book in your classroom or school library has anything beyond a heterosexual peck on the cheek, congratulations, you're now a sex offender. Not a joke.
