Project 2025’s plan to criminalize porn has a sinister subplot
Amid the 920 pages' worth of conservative ideas in the Project 2025 plans for a second Donald Trump administration, one stands out for its sheer improbability: criminalizing pornography.
It's true that politics makes strange bedfellows, but we're talking about anti-porn crusaders teaming up with Trump, who has literally had his share of strange bedfellows. To recap:
- He was on the March 1990 cover of Playboy magazine next to Playmate Brandi Brandt, who was wearing his tuxedo jacket and nothing else. He hung it on his wall of his office in Trump Tower and often autographed copies on the campaign trail in 2016.
- He had short cameos in 1994 and 2000 Playboy videos in which he interviewed models (who, to be fair, were wearing clothes at the time) and took Polaroids, asking them if they had "what it takes" to be a Playmate.
- He opened the nation's first strip club inside a casino in his failed Taj Mahal venture in Atlantic City in 2013.
- He allegedly had an affair with Playmate Karen McDougal and adult film actress Stormy Daniels
- He boosted future first lady Melania Trump's modeling career by allowing her to do a photo shoot in his private jet that included partial nudity. (She also modeled fully nude before she met Trump in photos that were leaked during the 2016 race.)
The "subplot" mentioned in the article? Project 2025 wants to expand the definition of "pornography" to include teaching children about LGBT or trans issues.
From the article, Project 2025's statement regarding trans/LGBTQ information:
"The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned. Educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders."
@vivify saidWell, you know what they say: if it looks like fascism, and smells like fascism...

I've never been so at a disadvantage as this subject. Me against libs about porn, their speciality. I will have to pass.
I was on a bonefish weekend with a few mid-40's sons-in-in law and we dads were astounded when they (reluctantly) introduced us old fashioned (imagine that) codgers to what our children and gradndchildren are exposed to on the internet. Shav would have been proud.

@AverageJoe1 saidYou do know that republicans are more into porn than the woke community, don’t you?

@Mott-The-Hoople saidUh… you do realise that gen Z and the likes have far less relations than other generations?

@Mott-The-Hoople saidThumb up. Maybe I should have said that porn is part of their lives, which it is,..... their recreational sex (which far outdistances our activities) opens a lot of doors. Do you remember when I won the debate about whether taxpayers should pay for their sex apparatus? even their birth control pills and baby-preventers, I forgot what they are called. Contraceptions? And pay for them to have elective abortions.

Are their feet on backwards too?
