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.
Goof luck for the companies depending on VPNs...but hey, Donnie's going to crash the economy anyway, so why fret.
Tank it purposefully and then say he's the only one who can fix it.
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.
First president to make pictures of his current wife illegal
First president to have actual nude photos of his wife available.
If any other president, especially a Democrat, had nudes of their wife it would be a scandal.
But America is so beholden to these idiots that it doesn't even matter to anyone.
There are lots of things they do that're scandalous. That's not one of them. There's already enough puritanical bullshit fucking up the US. It's about time some of it were left in the past.
Remember when the right had a meltdown over Michelle Obama’s bare arms.
isn’t that her second amendment right though?
People who voted for Trump after he won:
The same people after he declare porn illegal.
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??"
And then 2 years pass, and they have completely who banned porn, and why it’s the mistake of Democrats.
Considering the countrybas a whole didn't learn from 2016, there is absolutely no way anything would change.
Oh man do I ever hope they ban porn in the US. That would be fucking hilarious.
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.
Oh boy, I can't wait for abstinance to be taught as the only form of sexual education in America.
I'm expecting them to go even further, and just stop doing sex education period.
So? The president is a felon. Crime is legal.
Historically speaking people have two things they riot for, safety and comfort. How that comfort manifest varies but pornography is definitely on the same level as whiskey, and the United states has had a rebellion on that.
THE GOONER REBELLION, WOOOOO!
YOU CAN HAVE MY PORNHUB ACCOUNT WHEN YOU PRY IT FROM MY COLD, DEAD PENIS!
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.
Well luckily the military has a good chance of not listening to him, atleast in my opinion. The police on the other hand are more of a threat, though not an insurmountable one.
The liberal officers are going to resign in protest then pat themselves on the back and call it integrity.
Then the fascists are going to follow orders.
Good thing we spent the last 25 years giving the police surplus military equipment.
They're doing their own version of Iranian revolution aren't they.
Hilarious. As if this could ever actually be instituted nationwide. Regulations on sale and access maybe, but moral crusades like this are perpetually doomed to failure, much like the War on Drugs.
Doesn't mean they won't try, won't posture, won't grandstand about it, but to actually succeed in this goal when over 50% of the populace isn't going to be behind it? I guess we'll just have to watch them try.
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.
They'll say they're gonna ban it and when there's uproar they'll say to "protect the kids" you need a digital ID to access porn. Then they'll expand it to everything, ban VPN's, encryption and there will be no more privacy. Big brother is watching, and if he deems you too woke, for whatever arbitrary reason, you're off to the gulag.
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.
Least important effect of a Trump presidency - but I'm sure if he did this it'd be the straw that broke the camel's back for Gen Z Trumpers.
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.
Then maybe they should have known that Project 2025 called for that before they decided to vote for Trump.
Those kids would be very angry if they could read
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.
Good luck! Literally all his fan base are probably rabid porn junkies.
Ironically, they're also significantly more likely to watch transgender porn. People are weird and stupid.
