Last year, the rightwing think-tank the Heritage Foundation launchedĀ Project 2025, which laid out much of theĀ policy blueprintĀ for the current Trump administration. One of the projectās espoused goals was to permanentlyĀ criminalize all pornography. Now, a Republican senatorĀ with kind words for TrumpĀ has introduced a bill that would do just that.
Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) recently introduced the Interstate Obscenity Definition Act (IODA), which would effectively criminalize all pornography nationwide by legally redefining what it means to be obscene. For years, āobscenityā has been all but a defunct legal category that narrowly defines speech thatĀ remains unprotectedĀ by the First Amendment. Lee would explode this legal category, expanding it to encompass virtually all visual representations of sex.
Most of what they do is in service to white supremacy, including this.
Make America Great Again literally just means ārestoringā the āsupremacyā of the white race and culture over all others.
I donāt see how the first two would increase the number of white babies proportionally to the rest of the babies being born. As far as Iām aware, the states with abortion restrictions have higher % black populations than the other states, for instance.
Edit for drive-by down voters: Iām saying this is what they believe, not that itās true or I believe it. I mean, all Iām talking about is the āGreat Replacementā theory that people like Stephen Miller fully adhere to.
Itās pretty simple: the white population is losing ground relative to non-white populations. Yes, other populations will increase, but thereās a practical ceiling. They likely believe that the white population gains will more than offset any gains by other ethnicities.
For black populations specifically, Iād have to do some simple analysis on this data, but it doesnāt look particularly disproportionate in absolute numbers.
But really, I donāt believe the black population is the principal target. See the graph. Consider the immigration policy.

I feel like your answer is just āthey believe this will work.ā
I mean, obviously. Iām not saying I believe it or that itās viable.
most populations around the world are slowing in growth, plateauing, or declining. Seems as people become wealthier, and more educated, very young people begin having less/no kids, for the most part, and this lack of teen births is what is largely being lost when we see these declines.
Yeah, when people have educations they know the planet is fucked. Lmao at thinking itās āmoney and educationā that means less kids. Itās happening because the world is bad and the earth is fucked. Making it more complicated is hilarious
Sadly put them in jail, deport, provide inferior medical aid by capitalism means is the traditional answer.
Iāve heard that you have a huge demographic of black christians there, so abortion restrictions would also mean more black babies. Same for pornography.
Immigration restrictions - a lot of people from āwhiteā countries were immigrating too, so not sure.
I donāt think itās that. Itās making more bullshit laws, because a law really puts pressure only at those not in power. Creating plenty of tooling to jail and suppress opponents.
And also some people might genuinely think porn is harmful and theyāre sorta right, if you have proper sexual education and available contraception, porn is harmful and itās better to reduce age of consent (so that teenagers doing teenage things wouldnāt fear getting jailed) and limit porn (it affects oneās brain similarly to other addictions). A bit like in Iceland maybe?
Dunno what āwhite cultureā is, seems to be some American delusion. From here it seems you have in general the same culture, whatever the skin color. Even ebony slang, IIRC, is similar to how rural white people speak in some states south. I may be wrong, havenāt made the Columbus excursion yet.
Perhaps you missed the news where Trump explicitly encouraged immigrants of European descent to come to the US and made expedited arrangements for white Afrikaner ārefugeesā recently.
Or in his first term during the Unite the Right rally, when racists marched in Charlottesville and chanted āYou will not replace us,ā meaning Jews and non-white minorities, and Trump responded by saying there were āvery fine people on both sides.ā
I think youād have a pretty steep uphill argument to say that this administration is not a white supremacist (and misogynist) movement at its core.
Again, I donāt believe this myself, but what they mean by āwhite cultureā or āEuropean Anglo-Saxon valuesā or whatever is simply a homogenous culture centered around white supremacy.
Ah. I see. I have some remnants of irrational sympathy to Boers after reading Boussenardās book for stupid boys in my childhood.
But yep, encouraging Afrikaners to come somewhere in bunches seems to be a red flag.
Maybe you are right, itās just hard to believe something to be that simple, all other cases Iāve seen have a saner core, just evil.
