8. What an assinine post.

Reacting to a metaphor as if that's the foundation of my argument.

The point of my post is that outlawing porn is one of the things mentioned in Project 2025. Therefore it can reasonably be assumed that that's one of the things they're going to be implementing and that age verification is setting the stage for it. This is even more likely because of their well-known Christian nationalist agenda. Lastly, your flawed argument assumes that these are normal times. Apparently you haven't noticed that we're about to shift from a democracy to an autocracy. If there's something that they really want to do, then they're not going to be stopped by the courts.

I don't mind a civil discussion and a differing opinion.

What I won't put up with is rudeness.

Therefore I'm placing you on permanent full ignore.

Goodbye.
