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.

    First, they came for the trans people* and I did nothing because I am not trans.
    Then they came for the immigrants and I did nothing because I am not an immigrant.
    Then they came for women’s rights and I did nothing because I am not a woman.
    Then they came for the… wait, what? Hold up!


    * They came really hard for the trans people. Like strangely hard. Like they had some find of fixation.

    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 Do you actually have history classes in school, or has this been replaced by “American” “football” or “Cheerleading” classes already?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

      My history classes were how heroic the founding fathers were (nothing about how they owned slaves until college), how the civil war was about states rights, how we kicked total ass in WW2 except FDR was kind of a dictator and had too many terms, and how LBJ fucked up Vietnam and it was his fault we lost. They did offer an AP History class and it was a bit more truthful than what I had so far up to that point, but was still subject to the same school board’s oversight.

      It was very “both sides had a point but the rightmost point is the correct one”.

      This was in the 90s and early 2000s in rural Appalachia.

      Once I got to college I was like uhhhh what? It’s crazy to me that the federal government subsidizes and provides education that is going to lead to its own downfall. Maybe we DO need to dismantle the department of Education.

      Holy shit did I just red pill myself?

      Joking of course. These people can’t even govern their own impulses (see Epstein and rampant pedophilia on the right).

      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.

        This was consistently for me too. I learned more world history from PC games than I did in school.

        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.

    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.

    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.

    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??”

      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.

      Doesn’t this proposal also make anyone who participates in the production of porn into a criminal?

      Is the first Lady going to get arrested for her involvement in the creation of porn?

        Historically, you can’t be charged for crimes you committed before the law criminalizing them was passed. However, precedence and fair application of the law have lost all meaning so you could be arrested, but she wouldn’t.
