There are a lot of GOP-controller legislatures in the USA pushing through so-called “child protection” laws, but there’s a toll in the form of impacting people’s rights and data privacy. Most of these bills involve requiring adults to upload a copy of their photo ID.

Considering these are Republican states, they're just going to define Wikipedia articles about gender dysphoria as pornographic lol

Think carefully and double check before you ever agree with a Republican about anything.

This is literally the goal. They are using porn as a trojan horse because they know nobody is going to stand up and fight them on letting children see porn

I guess, but like, there's only one party that wants me in a ~~concentration~~ conversion therapy camp for being trans.

That doesn't make the rest automatically trustworthy. Just not genocidal. Though I tend to agree with Progressives and Socialist Dems or Socialists more often than not. Regular, middle of the road Dems, not as much.

Perhaps, but it was a bipartisan effort that led to requiring ID to buy music.

Sure, and I'm not saying both parties don't want to surveil and control the population, but as you might be able to understand I'm a bit more focused on the Party that has all but made extermination of people like me the Party platform.

I’ve never heard anyone call for the extermination of queer communists (or whatever category you’re referring to).

I'm trans. If they simply take away my access to gender affirming care they're as good as murdering me, because I won't last long.

Furthermore, they believe being trans is a mental illness and that we're all groomers and rapists. It's not much of a logical leap for them to then declare that they're "hospitalizing us" because we present a threat to ourselves and to public safety. They already call gender affirming care "self mutilation" and they actually believe that it's contagious and making their children trans. You're blind if you can't see where that's going.

Me being a communist just gives them a reason to shoot me when we start WW3 with China lol

All politiicans should be listened to with scepticism, but the Republicans have gone to full on lies, alternative truths, fraud, grifting and fascism. It's not a both sides issue.

This attempt of bothsidesing has failed.
