Notice Please Read, Everyone

[Vekseid]

I would like to ask every US Citizen to check their voter registration, and ensure they can vote in November. Do so every week; officials in some states have been purging voter rolls as late as last week. It would not surprise me to see them do so into September.

If you have some spare time, I would ask you consider signing up for Election Protection or signing up as a poll worker.

Each election there are a few races that come down to a literal handful of votes.

Sometimes even a single vote.

Anyone who tells you your vote does not or will not make a difference is lying to you.

Every time I do something like this, at least one person bitches.

To get ahead of that, I have this to say:

If you are the sort of person who sees a call to democratic action as an affront,

You are a weirdo.

Obviously, the former president's policy plan if he is reelected is a concern to us.

Pornography, manifested today in the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children, for instance, is not a political Gordian knot inextricably binding up disparate claims about free speech, property rights, sexual liberation, and child welfare. It has no claim to First Amendment protection. Its purveyors are child predators and misogynistic exploiters of women. Their product is as addictive as any illicit drug and as psychologically destructive as any crime. Pornography should be outlawed. The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned. Educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered.

Emphasis mine.

Just to highlight the proud tradition of redefining words and drawing equivalences to suit their tastes, presenting a reality ever-more divorced from our own.

The Heritage Foundation tends to get at least 3/5ths of its desired policies adopted when they have a friendly administration. Even if an attempted porn ban fails, there are other provisions and potential laws that would make it unconscionable for me to continue running this forum. 'Project 2025' is a threat which cannot be ignored.

Obviously, if this ends up looking like it will come to pass, we will need to have a plan.

We are of course far from alone in this.

Any policy built on a different conception of reality is going to have a lot of weirdness to answer for.

For now, the best solution is prevention.

I encourage every United States citizen to vote accordingly.

Thank you.
