Summary
Project 2025, a manifesto supported by the conservative Heritage Foundation, calls for a ban on pornography, labeling its purveyors as criminals and advocating for strict penalties, including jail time for producers and registered sex offender status for educators distributing it.
The manifesto argues that porn lacks First Amendment protection, framing it as harmful and exploitative.
With a right-leaning Supreme Court, proponents aim to overturn existing protections established in Miller v. California, potentially impacting mainstream media.
Donald Trump has pledged to bring Project 2025 contributors onto his team.
Do it.
Fuck around and find out.
The sad thing is, the nation will care more about porn than abortion rights. 🤦♂️
First, they came for the trans people* and I did nothing because I am not trans.
Then they came for the immigrants and I did nothing because I am not an immigrant.
Then they came for women’s rights and I did nothing because I am not a woman.
Then they came for the… wait, what? Hold up!
* They came really hard for the trans people. Like strangely hard. Like they had some kind of fixation.
They’re very strangely into trans people, obsessive even, they think about it constantly
Some might say they’re chasing trans folks.
And again, the US totally failed to learn from history. This time, even their own history. Do you actually have history classes in school, or has this been replaced by “American” “football” or “Cheerleading” classes already?
Hint: I’m talking about 1920 to 1933, when organized crime in the US was thriving like mad due to a similar stupid idea. This time, it won’t be any better. Keywords: Volstead Act and Cullen-Harrison Act
My history classes were how heroic the founding fathers were (nothing about how they owned slaves until college), how the civil war was about states rights, how we kicked total ass in WW2 except FDR was kind of a dictator and had too many terms, and how LBJ fucked up Vietnam and it was his fault we lost. They did offer an AP History class and it was a bit more truthful than what I had so far up to that point, but was still subject to the same school board’s oversight.
It was very “both sides had a point but the rightmost point is the correct one”.
This was in the 90s and early 2000s in rural Appalachia.
Once I got to college I was like uhhhh what? It’s crazy to me that the federal government subsidizes and provides education that is going to lead to its own downfall. Maybe we DO need to dismantle the department of Education.
Holy shit did I just red pill myself?
Joking of course. These people can’t even govern their own impulses (see Epstein and rampant pedophilia on the right).
In high school we had one year of “world” history that went something like this:
Man “appeared” in Africa
Sometime later planted corn and stuff
Egypt, Italy and China had big dynasties and stuff
Now let’s talk about the important history: Western Europe and more importantly America!!!
America is awesome - we do cool stuff and we are amazing oh yea the natives … well they were well… uh America is awesome!
WWII we kicked ass
Communism is bad
Vietnam war happened
Have a great summer kids!
It makes me wonder what the rest of the country outside my state is even learning. When I was in high school, it felt like WW2 was the ONLY history being taught in regular history class. I had to take an elective, AP, European history class just to learn something other than the American revolution, the civil war, civil rights movement, women’s sufferage, and WW2.
This was consistently for me too. I learned more world history from PC games than I did in school.
The incels fucked around and will find out.
This, I believe will be the very least of our problems.
No porn star can sue you if there’s no porn star
If porn is made illegal, only criminals will have porn.
The only way to stop a bad guy with some porn…
And watch the GDP of the country fall by trillions.
*will
Its already psuedo-banned in some states, not outright, but PornHub and others are blocked in a number of states.
You could probably take an educated guess as to which states with nearly 100% accuracy.
It was their trial run, now they want to deploy that nationwide, incrementally chipping away at it.
This is exactly their play.

First president to make pictures of his current wife illegal
First president to have actual nude photos of his wife available.
If any other president, especially a Democrat, had nudes of their wife it would be a scandal.
But America is so beholden to these idiots that it doesn’t even matter to anyone.
There are lots of things they do that’re scandalous. That’s not one of them. There’s already enough puritanical bullshit fucking up the US. It’s about time some of it were left in the past.
Remember when the right had a meltdown over Michelle Obama’s bare arms.
isn’t that her second amendment right though?
Calling out hypocrisy isn’t puritanical.
But America is so beholden to these idiots that it doesn’t even matter to anyone.
That’s not calling out hypocrisy. That’s saying people should care.
One might argue that it’s the opposite.
Doesn’t this proposal also make anyone who participates in the production of porn into a criminal?
Is the first Lady going to get arrested for her involvement in the creation of porn?
Historically, you can’t be charged for crimes you committed before the law criminalizing them was passed. However, precedence and fair application of the law have lost all meaning so you could be arrested, but she wouldn’t.
Sick burn 🔥
registered sex offender status for educators distributing it
If a book in your classroom or school library has anything beyond a heterosexual peck on the cheek, congratulations, you’re now a sex offender. Not a joke.
Oh boy, I can’t wait for abstinance to be taught as the only form of sexual education in America.
I’m expecting them to go even further, and just stop doing sex education period.
When the schools close, I guess everybody has to go to Christian school now! No sex education at all, please!
In my school in the Bible belt that was primarily what they focused on. I don’t remember much time being given to condoms. I certainly don’t remember ever being given one or shown how to use it (not that it’s that difficult or anything, but still).
But what I do remember is a speaker coming to our school to talk to us about how he had sex outside of marriage and got a girl pregnant, but he did the right thing and got married. Also, and I cannot stress this enough, he described this as abstaining because he married the person he had sex with.
That was mine… In the early 00s. And again with a guest speaker… In my advanced marketing class… In the late 00s. I will never forget how that lady sat on a desk, explaining with vivid, passionate excitement and lust, how waiting for your life partner to be your first time is, moans and quivers, so good~
The fuck, Smith, I thought we were going to fuck around and watch movies while you go “make some copies” only to never return, like every other day. The fuck is this shit. Even your own kid in this class is visibly distraught and confused. Poor guy is fucking scarred for life.
Well fuck as a published writer who has gsy characters in my books does that mean I will be labeled under this?
Absolutely. The handmaids will rip you to pieces in a public execution.
I hope they actually do it. This is like the abortion issue, if they actually go through with it people will be like “What?? How could this happen??”
The major porn sites should go dark right now in protest. On inauguration day. For a month.
And then 2 years pass, and they have completely who banned porn, and why it’s the mistake of Democrats.
You a word

Considering the countrybas a whole didn’t learn from 2016, there is absolutely no way anything would change.
2016 was different because Hillary was genuinely unlikable. This time we have no excuse

Did you wipe the server?
Like with a towel?
That did really annoyed me.
Sad part is I could see Trump said he wiped it and it would change no vote.
No no no, we can always blame Kamala’s laugh.
bUt ThE eCoNoMy…
Historically speaking people have two things they riot for, safety and comfort. How that comfort manifest varies but pornography is definitely on the same level as whiskey, and the United states has had a rebellion on that.
And somehow we just elected a guy who has no qualms with turning the military and the police on its own citizens despite legal doctrine.
Well luckily the military has a good chance of not listening to him, atleast in my opinion. The police on the other hand are more of a threat, though not an insurmountable one.
The liberal officers are going to resign in protest then pat themselves on the back and call it integrity.
Then the fascists are going to follow orders.
Luckily the chain of command helps dilute the worst of this type of effect. As I understand it most orders will have to go through the folks at the Pentagon first and they could very well just say no or otherwise pull some malicious compliance.
Reminder the military has a more or less parallel system to the civil system. Its entirely possible they may just decide to separate themselves more or less.
I am so fucking tired of Lemmy living in an alternate reality where liberal leadership will somehow magically get its shit together when it matters, like this hasn’t been a completely predictable trend over decades, where Someone Important will fucking Do Something.
I live in an area with veterans and its a bit more of a mixed bag. Most of them are dissolutioned with the system, its not that they dont have political leanings they just hate both. The ones who are politically active are usually lowd and dumb as fuck Republicans, the JD Vance type. The few I met who were commissioned officers were fucking feral and had nothing good to say about the right.
Remember the split in the veterans will be based broadly on education similar to the general public. And frankly speaking the actual folks at the Pentagon are pretty well educated.
Also I will happily admit that this is me hoping for a somewhat workable scenario. Im Californian which means I am in the perfectly cooked chicken zone of this soon to be nuclear blast, watching a bunch of mush brained dipshits play with the nuke. I practically cant do fuck all.
Good thing we spent the last 25 years giving the police surplus military equipment.
Honestly a good amount of that shit is of questionable function, reminder most of the good shit is going to the national guard first. The police are at best using old ass NVG and optics, maybe they have a functional IFV but itll be of questionable maintenance. My local police department gave up and just has the Sheriff department do anything that requires more than a rifle, mostly cause the mechanics refused to work on the humvee they got.
Also the police arent exactly trained for an actual resistance movement, itll be likely a more embarrassing version of the union and county wars.
That scares me more, honestly. The police riding around in a malfunctioning APC…
Honestly fhe worst that can happen is the engine decides its in fact a fire pit. Otherwise it will just be a boring ass breakdown, transmission failure is pretty common in military vehicles as a general rule. Reminder the US military is a logistics network with an army meaning that just cause they can keep a vehicle running doesnt mean even the oversized budget of LAPD can.
THE GOONER REBELLION, WOOOOO!
YOU CAN HAVE MY PORNHUB ACCOUNT WHEN YOU PRY IT FROM MY COLD, DEAD PENIS!
I can’t even use pornhub in my state anymore. I found pornslash recently but I’m sure it’ll be whack-a-mole porn sites, if this goes through.
Unironically yes.
