I Think this is the closest thing to a platform we've seen the Republicans campaign on in years. It's still vile and disgusting shit, but so are Republicans.

The funny part is that republicans really like vile and disgusting pornography.
I have to say it:
~~Republicans~~ American Fascists
I have to say it:
They're the same thing. The GOP has wholly embraced fascism.
Yes, that was my point. They're the American Fascist Party.
Judas.
Break up the Department of Education to strengthen education freedom, enhance parental rights in education, and protect taxpayers from student loan “forgiveness.”
That last sentence… who are they protecting?
Their billionaire owners
Their chosen religion.
Their "lifestyle choices," if you will.
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.
You can have my porn when you pry it from my warm, sticky hands.
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!"
Let's start with the child molesting congresspeople. You can identify them by the R next to their names.
Think about how this would be selectively applied.
Came here to say, a porn ban means they can call whatever they like porn. They've seen the support they're getting with the whole groomer thing, this is the natural extension.
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.
Nothing more than a poly to get more voters. If Trump wins the nomination they will vote for him because his party plays the game. They will conveniently forget the alleged golden shower, using the Bible as a prop and holding it up side down, and the sexual assaults. When ever there's a Republican convention the local escort service seems to do better.
Gotta watch out for those librarian pornographers!
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
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jul/27/project-2025-dismantle-us-climate-policy-next-republican-president
7-Remove all LGBTQ+ protections
https://www.metroweekly.com/2023/09/right-wing-project-2025-seeks-to-eradicate-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.
Then suck my dick and call it a reality show, GOP.
