Also spoiler: This stuff regarding pornography is built so that they will soon define existing as a trans person as being pornographic, and if you're seen existing as a trans person in front of children, you've committed a pedophilic crime against children, and oh yeah, they want to bring back capital punishment for those kind of crimes.

This is just an excuse to literally start murdering the LGBTQ+ community at large.

I don’t think they’re thinking it through like this. Yeah, that will likely happen, but I doubt this is an end goal they have. They don’t think things through like that. They’re reactionary, and trans people make them feel things they don’t want to feel, because Jesus watches them touch themselves. It’s really that simple.

The genocide is on the horizon, but most of them don’t know that – and won’t know it for decades afterwards. That’s why this is so dangerous.

e: look at the porn they watch then tell me this isn’t true. They think these are fetishes, not identities, because they’re devoid of empathy. It’s horrible, but if you understand this, their actions, however reprehensible, make sense.

It's literally on page 5 of Project 2025, which equates being transgender with abusing children. Then on page 554 they posit that they must increase the use of the death penalty and they single out "crimes against children" to be one of the things that they should put people to death for. This is literally the plan.

Page 5:

Pornography, manifested today in the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children, for instance, is not a political Gordian knot inextricably binding up disparate claims about free speech, property rights, sexual liberation, and child welfare. It has no claim to First Amendment protection. Its purveyors are child predators and misogynistic exploiters of women. Their product is as addictive as any illicit drug and as psychologically destructive as any crime. Pornography should be outlawed. The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned. Educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered.

Page 554:

Capital punishment is a sensitive matter, as it should be, but the current crime wave makes deterrence vital at the federal, state, and local levels. However, providing this punishment without ever enforcing it provides justice neither for the victims’ families nor for the defendant. The next conservative Administration should therefore do everything possible to obtain finality for the 44 prisoners currently on federal death row. It should also pursue the death penalty for applicable crimes—particularly heinous crimes involving violence and sexual abuse of children—until Congress says otherwise through legislation.

I too am quite surprised so few people seem to have been reading that book. I'm not even American but I've read it.

So much of what has been happening recently is explained in it.
