Get ready, if the Project 2025 freaks get their way this kind of shit will happen nationwide as a full ban on pornography across the board. It's just another way the party that claims they "stand for freedom" will turn this country into a puritanical dictatorship one small step at a time

First they came for the kinky porn, but I didn't speak out, because I didn't like kinky porn.
Then they came for hentai, and I didn't speak out, because I don't like hentai.
Then they came for the vanilla porn, but I didn't speak out, because I don't like normal porn.
Then, all that was left was yiff. And the furry porn stayed because AI cannot recognize furry porn, and it appears even on Google and Bing Safe Search.
And hundreds of millions of people started looking at the only porn left.
All we are going to have left is Al generated porn. Home grown ai porn.
The Christian Church.....no! One must not teach our kids to d d d d....raw! And burn all books with pictures or photos. Because gad fore-bid they might be porn... Catho-licks.....yeah burn all the evid....books! One of them might contain a photo of a priest and a kid...we mean porn....
Next up, social credit. Welcome to Republikkkan Amerika.
I am thinking the next thing they go after is the 2A. Might sound crazy, but I can see the SCOTUS deciding to enforce the “Well Regulated” part.
Except it will only be registered republicans who can be considered part of the “well regulated”, and they will add some measures in there that if someone is registered to a party affiliation they automatically vote straight ticket and cannot change it.
Putting this out there.
If you are educated, in demand or have the financial means to do so GET OUT. Globalization means most jobs can be worked anywhere and those that can't are often in demand.
My uni is struggling with student numbers and I still don't understand why we aren't advertising to every single American high-school. One mass shooting in living memory, mostly understanding culture in regards to LGBT, low religious control, low corruption and great views 15 minutes away.
Wait. Is the world going to have to deal with a flood of American immigrants now? That's going to be delicious.
The good thing is that immigration is meant to be selective- we can pick and choose.
I feel like Mexico may need to put up a border wall shortly.
I don't want to be overly offensive, but as someone who has watched the US slowly turn to chum over the decades, I'm not in favour of a mass immigration of Americans to other Western countries. How about you just stay at home and fix things. Most western countries don't experience the same sort of weird and dangerous political problems that are now your way of life.
Just copy what others do. Dump guns as a social artifact, tone down the worst aspects of capitalism, perhaps compulsory voting, adopt a fairer taxation system, and strengthen social security. All other western countries do this to a smaller or greater extent and none of us are perfect or have any less problems in other areas.
I'm definitely not saying that other countries are better, we are not. It's just that you definitely have particular problems and if you can't change them, you better just build that wall.
Most are too poor to get out. I looked I to it and no one wants you unless your rich or moving to a shit hole.
"only one mass shooting recently" 🙃
In living memory.
I can't guarantee America has had less than 2 in the last 48 hours.
The US has 55 times as many people living in 36 times as much land and with nearly no restrictions on firearm ownership in the majority of the country. Recipe for a fuckload of mass shootings
It really is.
I do hope you aren't excusing it, but by that logic NZ should have a mass shooting roughly every 4 months by comparison.
You don't excuse a disease, you analyze why it's happening and figure out how to cure it. Understanding the scale of the host is step one. Understanding what other hosts are doing differently, the extent to which it's working for them, and what effect you could hope to see by mimicking them is step two. In the US, actually implementing any improvement requires relatively broad understanding of what exactly is wrong, how to fix it, and how we know the fix will work without also costing so many people their "freedom" to own a ridiculously efficient killing machine that the improvement doesn't get shot down. That's step 3
Its much like turning their seasonal "cheap labor" into "illegals", once you make it so they cannot report you, then these monsters feel emboldened to exploit them. It also probably doesn't make much difference to a lot of these monsters as they are interested in girls (not women) to young to legally do porn to begin with.
What's even worse is they're doing it to ban anything they label porn, aka anything they label "obscene". Those penalties they list are to imprison their ideological enemies: anyone not straight or "Christian".
I remember when there was all kinds of brouhaha about how america would never ever turn into another islamic state or taliban. Seems that has been decidedly forgotten
they hate us because of our freedoms!
remove freedoms = get less hate.
taps on head
No this was always intended. It's the same exact people that screamed about Barack Hussein Obama bringing Sharia law. They were always worried that he was going to introduce Islamic religious law before they could introduce Christian religious law. It was never hidden, the statements were literally along the lines of, "This is a Christian country, Sharia law is not right for us."
nice work gizmodo. i see what you did there
Yes, “It’s us or the porn”, yes this will certainly go well for the republicans, no notes
Just wait until Grindr pulls out of red states. GOP already helped destroy Craigslist, so now the only place they can meet the cute boys will be at GOP conventions and family reunions.
You're damn right pornhub pulled out.
Eventually you'd think the right would run out of toes to shoot off.
Don't worry, Congress already created a full mirror of the site beforehand so they can still watch it
Just the gay half though
There is a reason VPN providers are doing so well these days
They'll be fine. They mostly go to Cornhub anyway.
You know who else bans porn? The Taliban, Saudi Arabia and other religiously lead hell holes. GOP is our version of religious extremists. These people are deranged.
Oh they never had a problem with religious law, just which religion. It was always called Sharia law when that was the big scare.
Did it leave a stain on South Dakota?
Yeah, the same for Kansas is true! We've got to beat those Republican freaks who are desperate to police the freedoms that everyone else enjoys without guilt.
The party of small government and free speech strike again.
