The Puritans are still ruling in that stupid country.
i live in such an atheist bubble. i'm constantly shaking my head at the fact that we haven't woken up to how many problems religion creates. every day that we don't do a massive purge and/or reeducation camp imprisonment of all theists allows this ridiculous charade to keep going.

The American porn industry is as big as Hollywood. This is a big billions of dollars market. And the US porn industry provides 90% of international porn. So Trump and his GOP wants to kill the one last American industry where the US is world market leader by far.
And I can easily see this industry moving to countries where actors are cheaper and less protected from abuse, diseases, and whatever else happening in this industry.
While this will make some religious fundamentalists in the US feel superior and give them a sense of a perceived moral high ground, it will actually hurt the most vulnerable people in the chain the most. It will not reduce the amount of porn made, it will just make it much, much worse for those involved.
Problem is onlyfans putting more money in the wallets of the performers and not into the political-industral complex.

Brought to you by a president who f****d a pornstar and paid her off by falsifying business records.
Clown world for a clown species.
Brought to you by the only first lady to have pictures in Playboy.
Sending people to El Salvador is much easier when you make everyone a criminal.
we know mike johnson couldnt control his porn consumption.
I'm loath to search 'mike johnson porn.' Could you provide background, please?
Mike claims to have an app on his phone that restricts such content and that he made his son his accountability partner... To not look at porn.
These people and their virtue signaling.
Thanks for the answer.
Conservatives keep saying they're for the common people.
Are they? Are they really? Seems to me they're really busy doing stuff that regular folks hate.
Conservatives keep saying they’re for the common people.
They are, they just didn't say ouotloud that are for the common people being jailed/deported.
They think they know how the poor people should act and they want to kill them if they disagree.

For fucks sake, why is every article pay walled? Just let me read!
404media requires an account but gives you some number of articles per day for free. It's annoying but they have super good reporting with more depth than many publications without being long winded like some

Under the bill, content would be considered obscene if it appeals to prurient interests in nudity
And since they've already taken away due process, they're basically paving the way to send anyone who has a body they don't like to a death camp. I don't think it's hyperbole anymore to say that that US is fucked.
This is basically how we ended up with the burqa. A woman's body is evil because it makes men unable to control their sexual urges, therefore women must be banned. Now, in Afghanistan, a woman's voice must not even be heard.
How long until the USA reaches that point?
The US is heading surprisingly rapidly towards that point. It was a tragedy when it happened in the Middle East. Unfortunately many of the right wing people in the US don't understand this yet.

Conservative fascists are obsessive consumers of trans porn.

Yep, this is 100% why I hope they actually pull off the porn ban. You want to see MAGA flip faster than Simone, you take away their porn.
