We go high, they go low. Taking the moral high ground against these people just end us losing the battle.

Easy, DDoS those who provide such services
But I cannot enjoy my Cyber Security Awareness Month!
Also “pornography” is a harder to define term, and can be “circumvented” by calling it “child erotica” or “child artistic nudity”, and CSAM producers used them to get around anti-CSAM laws while they could. Today some of the distributors try to claim they’re “just recordings of a crime”.
The whole “live and let live” movement normalized far-right talking points in my country, then the “live and let live” movement suddenly disappeared…
And when Putin asks Trump to accept the end of Ukraine and no longer accept the Ukrainian language as separate from Russian, he will immediately do some executive orders.
The Heritage Foundation existed for a very long time, and many far-right evangelicals wanted to take over the US. They played a long game. They even sunk 1 billion dollars into the whole project, and needed to learn from some other countries like Hungary and Russia. At least the HF has a lot of ties to the Orbán regime of Hungary, our only luck is it’s on slow burn thanks to the EU.
I think it will give a rise to blocking ads through intercepting network connections…
Peasant uprisings, to take down the kings of today.
Wait until Trump gets reelected, then the American “criminal monitoring” systems will be used to target political dissident too. Similar thing already happening in Hungary, except Orbán is currently forced to pretend he still a supporter of democracy.
I once made up an idea for an action thriller, called “President Psycho”, where a serial killer gets elected as the president, and immediately legalizes murder involving brutal torture for himself and his friends, if committed to the “right target”. God my ideas are becoming reality before even realizing them, and the worst is that I had an idea for an edgy magical girl metroidvania that set in a dystopian world which has been completely overthrown by fascists, all while I just started to take more seriously a much more simpler and smaller game idea (Arkanoid clone that is basically a hacking minigame but bigger).
The precedent shouldn’t be “they go low, we go high”, but “play stupid games, win stupid prizes”. He probably wouldn’t do anything because the aforementioned issue, but should just send an assassination squad on the 6 supreme court judges alongside with other politicians.
Does that immunity ruling also apply to the VP? If yes, then Kamala Harris can do a few things, all she needs is a fully loaded handgun.
And you have all the reasons to be terrified, the US in case of a Trump victory will either:
a) Go isolationist, dissolve the NATO, then let the power vacuum to be filled by Russia and China (one is better than the other), all while a big ultranationalist movement will claim to fix the issues.
b) Make whatever insanity Trump’s christofascist call “morals” into the global standards for human rights, heavily censor the internet, etc.
A second Trump victory will have dire consequences for the rest of the world.
Hell, people in the military just need to go on and execute the offending members of the supreme court, the house, etc., then just say “the president told us to do so”.
Good luck with that, the fans of the potential dictators have most of the guns, law enforcement is packed with fascists, etc…
(Although I agree.)
Even if he manages to bounce back from time to time, it’s only going to be downhill from there.
I also do think it’s primarily a money issue. Some of it might be those donors wanting the two parties to do different things, by basically leading the democrats into their graves.
The cruelty is the point.
