    This is a mass panic attack over manufactured or overblown fears. But this isn’t going to stop far-right politicians and their allies from capitalizing on this fear.

    Bold statement from a guy publishing an article speculating about how the GOP will suspend the first amendment.

      Weak statement about the party that is LITERALLY banning books and writing laws against teachers discussing objective historical fact in classrooms across the country.

      Not to mention the main point you’d ignored/missed while skimming the headline, which is that pornography is first amendment protected speech according to the law and the gop have been actively working to ban it, as a pillar of their party, for over 50 years at this point.

        pornography is first amendment protected speech according to the law and the gop have been actively working to ban it, as a pillar of their party, for over 50 years at this point.

        Politicians have been fighting the “moral decay” of society for longer than 50 years, and neither party has had a monopoly on trying to legislate their view of morality.

        How close do you think we are to successfully banning pornography in the United States, timeframe-wise?
