They're oblivious because they're right about each step. "We can't legislate morality" is correct because legislation is a small and insignificant portion of the process. The important part is maintaining control of institutions - which conservatives will always fail at.https://twitter.com/LoFiRepublican/status/1417912139809914884 …

The point is not to legislate people into becoming moral. It's to enact laws that make immoral behavior cost prohibitive. And it worked pretty well till the boomers came of age and ignored centuries of precedent.

Those efforts rely on having enforcers who agree with your goals and want to use the tools that the legal system gives them to further those goals. You can see what happens when that's openly not the case with DAs who oppose prosecuting crimes.

I get that. But a reason we don't have the enforcers at least in red states is because for years conservatives ignored morality in favor of tax cuts and military worship.

GOP at least paid lip service to "family values" as late as mid-90s. Back then Republican DAs prosecuted extreme porn and people like Quayle called out Hollywood for glorifying single motherhood.

That all went out the window with the rise of neocons in the late 90s. From then on, conservatism has been reduced to obsession with cutting corporate tax and worshiping the Military-Industrial-Israel complex.

The base needs to demand that conservative candidates include moral issues on their platform and appoint DAs who will prosecute smut peddlers. It's much better than doing noting and lamenting helplessly as the culture collapses around us.

Porn in the 90s was a Saturday morning cartoon compared to what it's become today. A major reason porn has morphed into this abomination is because after the 90s "conservative" officials completely abandoned cultural issues outside of empty platitudes about abortion.

Porn isn't the problem or even really a problem. The problem is sexual liberation of women. Porn is just video evidence of what they get up to.

Porn in its 90s form may not have been much of a problem. In its current form and ease of availability, it's a major problem.
