Oh so carrying the torch for the LAST time they tried to go after media with the moral panic of "Explicit" music label stuff led by Tipper Gore? The one where Twisted Sister showed up in 1985. A continuation from when they had a panic about VHS recordings in 1969 and Mr Rogers testified.
I specially went Obama over Clinton because she was still saying in 2008 how video games promote violence. There's a certain type of Dem, and they're still ramming them down our throats.
I swear. The harder they mess with this type of stuff the more single-issue-voters it pushes to vote against them. This war on media is such a losing battle I don't understand why they're opting to wage it with the current fish on the grill. This kind of unpopular legislation is stuff you try and push when you're in power, and try to sell it as an "eat your veggies" moment. Rebranding while they're down certainly makes for an interesting conversation when they rubber band back into power and say "we've said we were gonna do this since 2025" type conversation.
