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.

    Again, at the risk of repeating myself: they will not need subpoenas dude. That’s not how fascism works. The corporations will become an arm of the government, to be used at the whim of its sole leader, or they will be eliminated.

    This has happened before.

    People are still talking as if things will just continue as normal, and there will be rule of law that is in any way fair. Please wake up, people.

      Any good fascist state at the bare minimum busts out the rubber stamps and pretends that there is fiduciary responsibility and due process, and delegates down until there is plausible deniability. Russia, they still have elections, fake as fuck, cooking the books, but Putin is too busy to concern himself with the local level minutae. When some reporter has an exposé it must be some rogue civil servant, nobody has any clue, and it’s always an isolated incident. Couple months later reporter gets taken care of.

      Gotta spread like cancer, not charge in like a bull, unless you’re doing it coup. If everyone drops the suspension of disbelief and you can’t strong arm them you’re kinda fucked. Give them a show so the people who backed you in the first place continue to back you. If they’re dumb enough they’ll defend all this phony shit while you consolidate until it’s really fucking obvious everything is set up
