Wait for his next term - reading anything other than the Bible will be criminalized.

Meanwhile the "progressives" around me probably still think there's no difference between the two parties.

That could get rather awkward, given how many Bible passages directly contradict current Republican policy.

Example:

    When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God.
    - Leviticus 19:33-34

Client Side Scanning was a real Rorschach test for the internet. People rushed to justify it before considering that the tech can stay the same, but the law can change.

I have to believe there is no way this could move forward if it would end up banning most movies and TV shows. Not to mention the article talking about banning all VPN traffic, which would eliminate remote work for residents of the state.
