I'mma say this for all the people in the back.
Don't vote for a person. Vote for your rights, for the rights of others. On page 5 of Project 2025's 180-day plan they openly call for outlawing porn, recommending imprisoning anyone who creates it. Are you an NSFW artist, or like the art? THIS IS YOU.
Oh yes, because banning things that are connected to basic human needs, rights and habits have worked so well before... *cough*prohibition, the war on drugs, book burning*cough*.
Whoever votes yes for this type of shit just wants to limit the rights of others and see themselves as morally superior.
The last part is worrying too, "And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered."
This sets up a situation where any service could be shut down by saying "something pornographic" was found on it, and definitely not because of any free speech issues.
The irony in this is that the US is turning into China. In China NSFW content is illegal and banned from the internet by the gov 😆 so I find it quite ironic that the US hate China so much and at the same time is trying to enforce the same laws lol
Mind you, this like all other "social norms" laws will be selectively applied to those deemed as enemies. The kind of laws that many would violate but as long as your an ally of the party you won't be gone after.
I’m way more worried about the Court agreeing to hear arguments on the Constitutionality of Gender-Affirming Healthcare Bans than I am the Election Outcome.
Probably because it is sooner,
and I fear it’s what the ADF had in its plan all along.
Chase Strangio, I turn my lonely eyes to you
I’m not surprised this is such a spirited discussion, because it is complex
and individual circumstances may differ greatly depending on:
where you live, your access to resources, etc.
I don’t think there’s a 1-size fits all answer.
(Quietly raising hand from the back) I’m a trans woman who literally sells dildos for a living. If I vote 4U, what laws will be passed to protect me? Cuz if you’re only pledging not to outlaw my existence, w/o making it illegal for people to try. You ain’t helping promoonline.org/blog/legisla...
Not sure if you caught it or not but this is ALSO transphobic stuff in this project 2025 thing, right in that image you posted.
2 reasons to vote against it is enough for my purposes!
could you imagine anthrocon 2025 being held in a federal prison cuz of this, lol
fr, do vote, this shit is absolutely devastating and the literal death of democracy
Hmmm what’s the predominant Dem stance on legislation like COPA? Local train or express is the only choice we get, I’ll wait until they force me on one and hopefully I can drag a few of em to hell with me at least
I don't know where to crowbar this awful thought in ,but, i'm wondering if they will try to also implement the same "bounty" rules like they do for people seeking abortion down here?
If Trump wins (or cheats) his way into office, it's a question of when, not if, myself and a good majority of furs end up in concentration camps. They've made their objectives perfectly clear. I'm not voting for Biden, I'm voting for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness
Invariably, when populists talk about banning porn or "promotion of the LGBT ideology", they try to dress this up as protecting children while they themselves are the worst predators in the room.
This has to go well beyond voting for people in the US, hopefully this leads to people there to be far more politically active in general.
Doing more grassroots movement, entering politics to kick out dipshits.
Also see judicial appointments and HOW FUCKED things have been with Trump/GOP judges in place and how much worse it would be if there was 4 more years of him placing more judges and likely replacing 2 SCOTUS justices
They think LGBTQ+ people are inherently pornographic! They don't care about your intent! This isn't hypothetical, they've done precisely this kind of thing in the past! "Adult content" filters are notorious for restricting completely innocuous LGBTQ+ content!
520+ anti LGBTQ bills, cuts to education, higher drug and healthcare costs. I hear some people vote Republican over economic issues, but the felon they're running added 30% to our national deficit his last Presidency. If it's not for a better life, why do Republicans keep voting for this?
Six months? They're not gonna get this done in six months. But they will certainly TRY, and I think that makes this all the more dangerous. The corners they'll cut, the legislation they'll ignore, the sloppy job they'll do of trying to pull this off.
Oh, I'm voting, alright. I might be as sick of the whole "lesser of two evils" thing as anyone, but that does not mean let the obvious greater evil win. Not by a long shot.
They're just casually digging up the graves of Joe McCarthy, HUAC and the Hollywood Blacklist to repurpose them all for one terrifying future for everyone.
This coming from the people who have such a rampant problem of child predators that their churches have to have insurance policies for it? What a fucking circus.
My dad (republican) considers D&D to be "fraternizing with satan" and any anime I watch to be "fetish cartoons" so... its not even just NSFW content they're after..
I tell everyone who doesn't want to vote for either candidate that vulnerable groups will suffer more under Trump.
And yes, I know the Democrat strategy was to let the GOP become such an existential threat we had no choice but to vote for whatever candidate they offered, but it was sadly effective.
we used to send bomb threats to congress. anthrax to the president. bioweapons in the mailboxes of politicians.
i think it's time we return to our roots
Im so worried x.x dems are doomed if they cant make a turn out like in 2020. The republicans have a 5 second memory and have already forgot trump is a felon and have fallen right back in line
Also, one of their primary forms of attack is taking over local governments and such... so, get involved in your local politics and especially your school boards.
If any Republican wins high office moving forward, this is their plan. This will be their plan, and voting them out for the rest of our lives is our job in order to keep them from enacting this bullshit. It’s not just 2024, it’s beyond as far as we can see.
Scream it in the back for all the "edgy" guys who see voting for Trump as "owning the libs."
A vote for Trump, or even just staying home, means an end to all your jerk off material. Forever.
It's not a vote for Joe. It's a vote for the waifu you spank it to.
If we're all set on this, I should vote blue regardless of whether I like Biden or not (I hate him). I did give the idea of green party a recurring thought though. I've said this before, I'm not voting on a person, I'm voting against GOP.
This is one their website. They're laying the groundwork with all these ID laws to shut off all access to it, and if you don't think this applies to you, remember: they view ALL LGBT+ content as porn.
There's a hundred other reasons, but if you draw, maybe consider where you'll be in the crossfire.
“And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered.”
I’d like to see them try. That is literally every tech company, ISP, and carrier to some extent. You want to see the industry cripple the govt. by suspending all services in protest?
That would do it.
180 day plan??? That’s insane.
Not just in what it is trying to do, but in their belief that the government could do anything on that scale in six months.
Don’t get me wrong, P2025 is a dangerous idea that will do immense damage (mostly to Republicans) if attempted, but it’s still a pipe dream.
Notice this isn't even about what most of us would call "porn," it's about "transgender ideology." They're talking about imprisoning drag queens & therapists who do trans-affirmative therapy, putting librarians on the sex offender registry for stocking any book w/ trans content, etc.
This is authoritarian regime levels of fucked up. Literally trying to silence people's 1st amendment rights... They're not even trying to hide it anymore!
