Oh boy, I can't wait for abstinance to be taught as the only form of sexual education in America.

I have been downloading porn since 2001. Fear not!

THE GOONER REBELLION, WOOOOO!

And somehow we just elected a guy who has no qualms with turning the military and the police on its own citizens despite legal doctrine.

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

Half of them have heart attacks walking up the stairs and the other half turn to ash when touched by sunlight.

And of course they will use it as an excuse to implement complete surveillance on all your devices.

The one thing this election has all but confirmed for me is that over half of the country supports these things unabashedly, and I highly doubt porn will be the hero that magically changes these people. It's already banned in multiple conservative states, and all of them just voted red again.

Honestly, I believe that if the Trump admin brought back prohibition, his bootlickers would be the first in line telling us how it's the best idea ever.

Then maybe they should have known that Project 2025 called for that before they decided to vote for Trump.

Violence against women is about to skyrocket when the incels can't get a date because they're too repulsive and can't watch porn to take out their sexual frustrations because of what they voted for.

The war on drugs only failed if you truly believe its goal was getting rid of drugs.

To quote John Erlichman, one of its architects:

“The Nixon Campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar Left, and Black people. You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or Black. But by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and Blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”

By the strandards of what it was created to do, the war on drugs was fantastically successful.

The war on porn will be successful in exactly the same way, because Republicans have already spent decades redefining all LGBTQ content as "pornographic". This is will be a tool for disrupting queer and trans communities, for erasing queer and trans resources and tearing down queer and trans rights activists. Stopping porn isn't the point, and it never was.

It's not to try and ban porn

It's a way to snoop on all Internet traffic.

Like cops "smelling weed" anytime they want to hassle someone. If they don't like a person, they'll spy on their Internet usage, obviously find some kind of porn, and then make a public spectacle out of to distract from what they're mad at that person for.

They don't care about the crime, they want an excuse to investigate people they don't like.

Say something mean on twitter, and they'll search your IP till they find something they can call porn.

No, but they can go after the owners and operators of major porn sites and have them shut down (and possibly executing them). Then the subsequent chilling effect that will occur, making sure nobody dares try to take their place.

You could probably use a VPN and find stuff, but say goodbye to pornhub, youporn, xvideos, etc. And in certain states they will probably make accessing it illegal (or simply using a VPN at all. And no, it will not matter that they're legitimately needed for all sorts of legal shit, it'll be used at the government's discretion (which means singling out people who are using it to access porn. Until it isn't, and they use it for whatever they want because they are the law).

This is what fascism is. People really don't seem to grasp this. We need to stop viewing he world from this current paradigm, because come January 20, this nation will become unrecognizable.
