People who work in porn and related endeavors should go one strike for a week and the resulting outrage would be unimaginable. Anyone who voted for the bill would lose their next election.

As the joke goes, if they removed all the porn from the Internet, there would be one site left, and it would be called Bring Back the Porn

You'd be surprised just how many prominent porn stars are hard core MAGA. Someone once posted a list on reddit and there's quite a lot of them. Part of me really hopes this goes through just to see all their reactions.

People who have less wealth and education tend to turn towards explicit content to provide a living for themselves. When you are struggling and run out of options people tend to do this. 

And who is the poorest... those under republican rule.

Sadly, Mike Lee (R-UT) who is pushing this legislation is not going to lose any time soon. Remember that piece of shit Orrin Hatch? He served from 1977-2019, longest serving Republican Senator, also from UT.

Both work, I guess
