At the dawn of the new year, Pornhub will leave Florida. Thanks to a harsh new age verification law that takes effect on January 1, the porn giant will no longer do business in the sunshine state. The law mirrors similar laws passed in other Republican led states where Pornhub has stopped doing business.

Good.

So crazy how floridians are able to get legislation like this passed, but can't do anything to help their legions of hicks living in trailer parks.

The legions of hicks love this kind of virtue signaling oppression and don't mind that they're stuck in a trailer park. Priorities.

Those legions of hicks see living in a trailer as a badge of honor when it comes to Republican policy even if it harms them. Contradictory to this, they also view it as the fault of Democrats, taxes, and regulations on businesses for why they're in that situation. It's pure cognitive dissonance but good luck convincing them of that.

It doesn't even manage to block access to porn. For god's sakes you'd have to block the entire Internet.

I probably shouldn't say that or they'll get ideas. It's all performative.
