2016 GOP platform becomes MORE socially conservative, calls for ban on all Porn

[Maxwell]

by 2020, any sexual position except for missionary will be "a public health CRISIS" to these ing jokers.

[Suburbia]

Shame on you guys here that like watching that garbage. It makes your mind filthy. You guys are really nuts. Why the hell would you watch that crap? It shows at least that the GOP protects families. I'm not an Republican by the way, folks.

[TJ in Oregon]

Finally do something right this year. Oh well, good luck with that.

[Kingpoleon]

Ugh why ban porn.

Definitely a young Tea Party conservative.

Oh pa-leaseeee

[Higgs]

Alright guys chill. This is nothing more than a gesture to the religious right that probably feels a little abandoned with Trump as the nominee. No Republican would ever seriously attempt to implement this. This will obviously go nowhere.

Who's right is it to stop someone from doing what they damn well please in the comfort of their room?(that doesn't harm anyone else)

[indietraveler]

I mean the platform doesn't really mean anything to me on either side, but this is just another reason why I'm #neverrepublican. I feel like I'm definitely lumped in to the typical young adult who isn't necessarily enthused about the democrats, but no way in hell will ever be a republican...so that pretty much makes me a democrat by default?

But, yes, GOP--keep up the good work here if you want to be a true minority party in another generation or so.

It's hilarious that people still think social conservatives are about to take the government and turn America (one of the most socially liberal nations in the world) into a Christian Theocracy.

For the record, I don't support a ban on porn (I'm a libertarian, after all).

[IceSpear]

Whenever I think the Republican Party can't get any crazier or more out of touch, I'm always proven wrong.

No, it's hilariously awful that Social Conservatives are still influential enough to make the GOP Policy Platform even more socially conservative.

[Illiniwek]

They must really want naked-sex protests at the convention.

[RI]

The ubiquity of porn is a public health crisis in the US but I doubt a ban would be very effective at all.

Mine as a voter to impress my will on others. Yay, democracy (for once!)

[Santander]

In this country, we have one party that demands crazy policies that will destroy our country. The other party is the GOP.

Does anyone know why the GOP I shifting rightward socially?

[EliteLX]

From a completely realistic and literal standpoint, hypothetically speaking, porn is a massive health crisis. There are numerous psychological changes from compulsive pornography dependence, completely f[uck]s up a lot of young men's libido and and generalization of sex. The cons of porn for society far outweigh any benefits that exist (if any at all?).

Now, no, it should not be banned nor do I agree with the amendment being used with theological basis, but the amendment is actually right and you are all wrong. Porn is a devastating utility for young men across the world and actually really wacks your mind & body's conditions towards sexual interaction with a woman. Why better yourself or make yourself a better man or pursue woman when you can just sit in your dark room and get a shot of dopamine and call it good, all while hardwiring your brain with a quacked libido and twisted expectations of sexual reality and the VERY advanced sexual demands of a relationship and a woman.

Sad, but true. Sometimes social conservatism actually contains a lot of hard truths, and that's coming from somebody who sways away from modern social conservatism.

Doubling down, because they can't shift left.

Err... seriously?

I think you copied the wrong link.

This platform is another dagger in my chances to become Republican again. Does anyone know how to change your actual username since I'm not a Republican anymore?

You can't unless Dave does it.

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

Im sure the old men and women who came up with this platform surely must enjoy fantasizing about youngins getting off to porn. Or thinking about every move the LGBT youth does. They could invest that time and energy into doing something productive instead of thinking what people do in the privacy of their own home.

Republicans are pandering to the waning influence of the Religious Right because they're bleeding voters as the party becomes whiter than snow by the day. Without the exploitation of the Bible and ideological manipulation of Jesus to get the "God's Country" folks in Rural America to vote for them, they wouldn't even exist as a national party.

Yeah, it's laughable how Republicans talk about how evil the government is and how it can never do anything right (then they get elected and prove it), but yet they want the government to be involved in the most private and intimate moments of people's lives. Tell us godless red avatars again how Democrats and liberals are the real threats to liberty and freedom because we want everyone to have health care and be properly educated and not have to live in a country where you have to live in fear of being gunned down because muh Second Amendment.

“Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them.” - Barry Goldwater. (This is just a (relevant) quote to troll jfern and others who call Hillary the Goldwater Girl.) What a RINO that Barry Goldwater is.
