"Pornography should be outlawed. The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned. Educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. " - GOP 2025 Mandate For Leadership ( www.project2025.org )

Full Text PDF Source

The 2025 Mandate for Leadership is a conservative action plan to go into effect January 2025 after the 2024 elections. Sponsored by The Heritage Foundation and a coalition of other conservative groups, this comprehensive policy guide plainly states the GOP's short and long-term goals. Banning porn is the tip of the iceberg, they also want to erase & ban "woke" language, dismantle the federal government, and "SECURE OUR GOD-GIVEN INDIVIDUAL RIGHT TO ENJOY “THE BLESSINGS OF LIBERTY". Enjoying the blessings of liberty is so vague they use it to claim American exceptionalism is responsible for all American social progress while simultaneously ranting about leftist causes and activism...

Nothing in this document is new, but the plain wording and public availability is useful for easily understanding exactly what the modern GOP is trying to accomplish.

The 1A won’t abide that, any more than the 2A will abide banning firearms.

Republicans won't even abide that. Red states are the biggest consumers of pornography.

Republicans are used to voting against their own interest and then complaining about it when life only seems to get worse.

As far as the GOP is concerned there's only one amendment, and that's the second. And that's only because they know the military could roll over all their tacticool cosplaying supporters who think owning a single AR-15 somehow puts them on the same level as the entire US military.

Sure, let’s ask the people of Utah if they liked the idea.

“Hey religious porn addicts! How would you feel about … why are you leaving? Hey! I’m talking to you!”

My problem is that, anytime anybody says anything about Project 2025, they only talk about one of the many things included.

Let's be very specific about what all is included in Project 2025:

1-Establish that Article 2 of the Constitution gives the president power to do whatever he wants.

2-Fire the civil service and replace it with Trump loyalists.

3-Immediately implement the insurrection act and use the military to fight protesters.

4-Use the DoJ to target critics

5-Weaken the election security agency

6-Reject climate change

7-Remove all LGBTQ+ protections

8-Bring the Bible into government
https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/project-2025-heritage-foundation-christian-nationalism-rcna103510

And all of this is public and written in a 1000-page handbook by the Heritage Foundation.

This raises the question of why I just had to include 9 different sources. That's because the media is only sharing this piecemeal even though it should be news shared with everybody. Their coverage is rubbish.

If we cannot rely on the media to do their job, it means we have to work around them. Please pass this whole post on to whoever will listen.

Vote.

Do not doubt this movement is after your sexual freedom. Your personal autonomy to love whom you want how you want behind closed doors.

They do this not because they genuinely believe in these sexual restrictions, but because they want the power to engage in sexual freedom while denying it to others as an expression of nonconsensual sexual domination.

WHYAREWEALLCAPS ,

In groups and out groups, as always.

Does that mean Republicans will stop being pedophiles?

Think about how this would be selectively applied.

It's nothing more than a way to ban/imprison whoever they want.

This is just yet more proof that the "Heritage Foundation" is a group of pedophile Klu Klux Klan Nazi assholes. Anyone who supports them should be deleted completely from any sensible person's life.
