From humor, but want to respond seriously: > [@Political Humor Thread](https://community.goactuary.com/t/political-humor-thread/1538/4754): > > Ds want to use government to protect this for all that are here and give everyone who is not here the same opportunity, because America is a great place. **Rs want minimize government as those things will better manifest themselves the closer we get to government not existing, because America is a great place**.

They want government interference instead of letting patients, doctors, and parents make medical decisions about reproduction or gender. The growing number of anti-porn laws are sufficiently vague that many people expect them to be used against websites providing sex ed or LGBTQ content, especially given many key figures have already declared LGBTQ people to be inherently pornographic.
