 Okay need to talk about this here. I know you all saw it by now. I'm super late to the party on this But how can you not talk about this? The party of freedom, the party of free expression, freedom of speech, anti-cancel culture They're back to their roots. Poor and bad. I don't like it. Ban it. So the Ohio Senate candidate JD Vance told a Catholic magazine in 2021 This is just last year folks. This isn't something that they have uncovered from 1997. This is from 2021 He said that porn should be restricted to help an isolated generation thrive Imagine thinking that porn is the reason why this generation can't thrive It's not Anthropogenic climate change or student debt or the cost of housing the cost of living No, it's because they're looking at porn in other words It's the one thing that maybe gives them some satisfaction for like 20 minutes every other day Take that away from them. No happiness allowed because that doesn't make me happy. So I don't think it'll make them happy Ridiculous, but think of the children exactly $27 right? Think of the children. Let's get into this Going beyond even the GOP's own platform Republican Senate candidate JD Vance told a Catholic magazine last year That pornography should be banned because it stopped the Americans from getting married and starting families Is it though? Citation needed what evidence do you have to suggest? That uh pornography is stopping people from getting married and starting families I mean, there are people who are married. There are families who enjoy looking at porn Hopefully not together, but I mean you still might look at porn if you're married, perhaps In fact, I'd argue that a majority of people do so this idea that you know, this is going to solve this problem Hmm I don't think so, buddy This is why we don't take conservatives seriously because they can identify problems Once in a while, but the solutions that they apply are almost always brain dead I think the combination of porn abortion have basically created a lonely isolated generation Wait, aren't the people getting abortions Not lonely because they're having sex Is porn stopping people from having sex like I'm so confused. This seems like a contradiction, but I could be It could be wrong here Uh, so they're not getting married They're not having families and they're actually not even totally sure how to interact with each other speak for yourself I can interact with people just fine Vance said in a newly unearthed interview with crisis magazine from august of 2021 I will proudly die on the hill of defending porn and I'm right there with you No healthcare. Okay. I don't like that. No free education. Don't like that either No abortions. Okay. I'm really getting mad, but don't like that. No porn. You take away our porn Oh, that's it. We burn it down The writer spoke with vance at a gathering for young conservatives where vance was a keynote speaker She wrote that after asking him his thoughts on porn and birth control and their effects on familial decline Vance admitted he wants to outright ban pornography. What an authoritarian little prick he is And I love how he's speaking to young conservatives I mean jesus think of how sexually repressed you've got to be as a young conservative like you can't watch porn It's evil to jerk off the bible literally says that if you spill your seed outside of a woman's womb You should be put to death. Does it not so you have to walk around as a young conservative with a boner all the time And then uh when people rightfully look at you as some sort of a freak Then you have to blame everything else But your weird lifestyle that you've chosen for yourself because of the religion that your family brain washed you in because of the country that you happen to be born into Vance's campaign didn't provide a comment about his more recent thoughts on porn And how they would factor into his priorities as a senator in 2016 the g.o.p And its own official platform declared porn a public health crisis jesus But stopped short of calling for it to be outlawed completely Vance who wrote for who wrote his memoir about witnessing first-hand poverty and addiction and their impact on families in ohio has made conserving traditional families and ending abortion main planks of his conservative platform But like if you are in poverty And as long as you can afford the internet you can get porn for free because we have the internet So it's not like one of those destructive habits That you know, you're losing money to right? It's it's less harmful than even smoking because smoking costs a lot of money I mean how much is a pack of cigarettes now? It's so expensive So it's it's weird that he focuses on on this and I just i'm so sick of christians trying to impose their Twisted view of morality on everyone in society You know they talk about how abortion is bad and porn is bad, but yet they don't want to do anything To address the housing crisis food insecurity health care crisis in this country How is porn and abortion? You know worse Then the fact that tens of thousands of americans die every single year due to a lack of health insurance But they're like, oh, no, no, it's it's the porn Really, it's the porn I mean your priorities are ass backwards if you actually fucking think this and i'm sorry There's absolutely zero percent chance that this man does not regularly look at porn Zero percent chance when this photograph was taken Probably earlier that morning he looked at porn Guarantee it So let's see in his statement on the uvaldi school shooting vans cited the absence of strong family values and not the lack of gun control Well, of course Let's explain why a gunman would murder 19 children and two teachers Quote we need to address the culture of fatherlessness and drug addiction in our country focused on the importance family So that our next generation is guided and empowered with strong support systems vans said and they'll talk about like drug addiction But these same motherfuckers won't even advocate for legalizing all drugs They'll keep it, you know Restricted to the black market So it's unregulated and then people overdose when they end up getting drugs that are you know mixed with fentanyl And then they're like i don't know keep it illegal even though that's very clearly a failure God they have absolutely no policy prescriptions whatsoever. It's all just like feelings based This is the facts Above feelings the facts don't care about your feelings party and they're all like well, you know x problem exists So it's probably because we haven't banned porn yet Okay, I mean there has to be some sort of causal mechanism that you find If you want to apply policy solutions to these Issues, you know crippling society, but they literally just like go based on Their feelings. It's so unhinged senator josh holly who endorsed vans has an explicitly called for a porn ban That right there is definitive proof that josh holly is Very progressive But at last year's national conservative conference holly argued that porn and masturbation were creating a national crisis for men Jesus christ I mean, how can you read this article and not think that conservatives are deeply stupid? They have no logic. They have no rationale. They're just like these are lawmakers. JD vans is a potential senator And you have people in there talking about how porn is bad in congress in the senate. Is that not insane? Well, you know young men are masturbating and that's causing a lot of societal problems What if I told you josh holly that all of these societal problems? Um, even though they're perhaps new a lot of them are new Um masturbation itself isn't new. It's existed all throughout the history of time All throughout the history of time if you believe in creationism and you think that the earth was created 5 000 years ago Guess what adam in the garden of eden was busted nuts all over the place Okay, masturbation has always existed because it is a human phenomenon, right? It's natural So for you to say oh these new problems It's masturbation rather than saying. Oh, it's neoliberalism Decades of neoliberal economics Killing our country, but that's not it It's fucking dudes who are wanking it Shut the fuck up. You're just not a serious person if you think this way You're not like I actually think you have a low IQ if you come to this conclusion If you think that societal issues are the result of masturbation and porn You actually are a stupid person now That's not to say that porn or masturbation can't be a problem because everything is fine in moderation like if it's actually You know, um debilitating your sex life then sure stop masturbating But I mean in terms of just like society, um Being affected by masturbation and porn Not happening Prove it, but you can't so they just say that they feel like it's porn Yeah, well, I feel like you're a dipshit. I have more evidence for that than you have For porn being bad
