I believe a dose of reality is in order to answer the OP in this thread. I sincerely believe that the absolute hatred of Trump robs one of intellectual discernment and such haters can easily be identified as belonging to that group of people who can be fooled all the time as reiterated by Pres Lincoln’s famous quote. As an example one of the main mantras one hears constantly from the Dems and their lapdog sycophants, the main stream media, regarding this upcoming election, that it is a fight for Democracy. If Trump does get elected it will be the end of democracy in America as we know it. He will impose an authoritarian regime that will run rough shod over the Constitution and rip it apart.
This viewpoint was amply articulated by a female speaker at the Democratic National Convention (sorry I forgot her name nor am I in the mood to try and research her name) who said in affect that if Trump does get elected it will usher in a sinister dark period in American history. Why, she averred that Trump will target and punish his political opponents and even jail them! OMG! Why even the ladies of “The View”, a pretentiously silly liberal biased daytime TV talk show are fearful that they could be subject to personal revenge if Trump were to regain the Presidency. In pronouncing such a dire forecast, that speaker at the DNC was apparently unaware that Peter Navarro who had served in Trump’s cabinet had just finished his four months prison sentence in time to speak at the Republican National Convention. Also, Steve Bannon who was one of Trump’s 2016 campaign managers and served for a time as an advisor during Trump’s administration, is currently in jail since July 1, 2024.
Their crime? Why they both refused to produce documents pursuant to a subpoena issued by the relevant Congressional committee to produce them. Ergo they were in contempt of Congress; obviously a pernicious crime indeed, surely subject to the full extent of the LAW, and therefore they were justifiably punished. But wait a minute! Didn’t Eric Holder, the AG for Pres Obama defy a Congressional subpoena and refused to produce demanded documents? How about the current AG Merrick Garland who also has failed to produce a document in his possession and has ignored the Congressional subpoena issued. I know that those two gentlemen have not been imprisoned nor am I aware of them being in any legal jeopardy. Whatever happened to the cliché “No one is above the law”?
And of course we have the case against Donald Trump himself. Do any of you Trump haters genuinely believe that had he not decided to contest the Presidency that he would still be in the same legal jeopardy as he now finds himself? If you do, I suggest you ought to stop drinking the Kool-Aid. It is seriously hampering your mental health.
Now as to the subject matter on hand, I would advise the author of this thread not to worry unduly. Project 2025 is not in any way, shape or form, part and parcel of the official Republican Party platform. Nor does Trump have any personal connection to it; he probably hasn’t even read it. It’s not at all in his agenda should he win in November. So I’m quite confident in suggesting that banning pornography will definitely not be something Trump would do; he has bigger fish to fry.
My personal view is that banning pornography would not be such a bad thing for society. In any case it would still be available albeit it would be more costly and difficult to acquire. However, the prohibition of pornography would have a salutary benefit in general literature. It forces authors not to be lazy but be more inventive in describing sex scenes. Case in point is Thomas Hardy’s novel “Tess of the d'Urbervilles”.
In that novel there is a scene wherein the seducer of the titled heroine is sexually aroused by observing Tess milking a cow. Apparently, most milkers while doing this chore would rest their foreheads flat against the flank of the cow. However, Tess would rest one side of her face against the flank and would have her eyes closed. The sight of her milking the cow in this manner stimulated his senses such that he went on to subsequently seduce and presumably deflower her.
Bear in mind that this novel was published in 1891 right in midst of the ultimate prudish mores of Queen Victoria’s reign. And yet despite the absence of graphic detail featured in contemporary literature, I consider Hardy’s prose in this scene as one of the most erotic writing I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading. I was so impressed that I decided to replicate the scene in my novel “Vivian Laaning”. As Wisconsin is the state most renowned for its dairy industry, I had my locale picked out. Since nowadays cows are almost exclusively milked by machines, I had to invent a plausible rationale why my heroine was milking a cow manually. And of course, reflective of the raison d'être of this website, I had my heroine milk the cow while naked. It was early in the morning you see.
