At least this'll probably push more people to hate Republicans. Like, fucking with a man's porn supply is just political suicide. At least I hope it is.
Don't worry they'll find a way to blame Biden.
Anything is possible when logic, facts, and reality don't matter.
Maybe.... I would have thought treating women like chattel would do it... But apparently not.

Chattel is a specific type of slavery:

alright thanks
I'm almost afraid to ask, but what other forms of slavery are there that means you aren't the property of a slave owner?
Slaves can also be owned by the state, rather than individuals. Weirdly some empires had slave armies, for example. In other cases slaves have significant rights, including their own property; Roman slaves could save money and buy their own freedom (although many slaves were worked to death in mines, or used for sex, so it was definitely still shit). In some cultures children of slaves were free (technically, although still starting from a terrible position). There was also indentured servitude, where you agreed to be a slave for a limited time period - a lot of people came to the Americas for free, but were slaves for a few years in exchange (before Europeans started buying chattel slaves from Africa, which gave better return on their investment, as long as you didn't mind being evil).
They should have also added a bit about big government intrusion into their personal privacy rights. They have to speak the conservative language to conservatives to really get them riled up.
