Yes please, let’s talk about everything except the illegals, the economy and giving billions to Ukraine, because complaining about what people watch in their own homes and injecting religion into a political party totally won over the voters in the past, right?

So you think only religious fanatics have a problem with rape and incest? Hmmm...

I agree: stick to the issues. My early take on Biden dropping out and Harris taking over is that she's being used to get President Trump off the issues as he has been during the debate and his convention speech and back to doing mean tweets so they can paint him as the Bad Man Orange again.

Legally outlawing violent porn is not as much about the viewer of porn; it's the acts involved in the production of it.

One can reasonably argue that porn does motivate the viewer to mimic the acts they "enjoyed," but one lacks definitive data proving to what degree that is really true. One can reasonably argue that enforcement standards against porn are unnecessarily intrusive until an actual act of mimicry produces real victims. Nor is it reasonable to argue that victims of sexual violence were not seriously harmed.

That question speaks to why we have Federalism. States have the power to employ different standards of enforcement than do the Feds. While some enforcement standards might themselves become offensive, the variation in standards allows the laboratory of liberty to run the political experiments whereby to generate reliable data. Hence, I'm perfectly fine with San Francisco or LA becoming a moral cesspool, but perhaps the people of Utah don't want that. I am expecting that once-beautiful city of San Francisco to degenerate into a violent and ungovernable wreck. And we all get to find out how that works with the difference in statistics from those respective jurisdictions.

And so it goes.
