'This isn’t a joke': Far-right evangelicals aim to enlist Trump in anti-pornography fight
Right wing's crusade against online pornography is picking up steam, with multiple Republican-led states like Arkansas, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, Texas, Utah and Virginia already restricting access to PornHub and its sister sites.
If Trump wins a second term in November, evangelical activists are hoping he'll join their cause in banning online pornography nationwide.
Kevin Roberts — who leads the influential far-right Heritage Foundation behind the controversial Project 2025 blueprint — told CNN he believes Trump would be a major asset to the anti-pornography movement.
“We understand our Lord works with imperfect instruments, including us,” Roberts said. “While on the surface it seems like a contradiction, on the whole, it may make him a more powerful messenger if he embraces it.”
Project 2025 has called for an outright ban on pornography. Its "Mandate for Leadership," which is a 900-plus page blueprint for the next Republican administration, mentions pornography on the first page and for the imprisonment of its producers and purveyors on page 5.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
