I don't think this belongs at the top of TD.win. Many say that we have to fight fire with fire, but I'd say this is just straight-up oil to the flames of a free-falling culture. Conservatives as a group need to stop conflating the moral high ground with never fighting back. "Yeah but they do far worse" is terrible reasoning for showing something that is, yes I'm sorry, pornographic. It's depicting a graphic sex act, that is what it is. There are many, many other ways to make the same point that this meme does, so that's not a good defense either. I don't think it should be stickied at the top of THE major online Trump-supporting community, I don't think it needs to be banned from the site either. I'm not trying to be a Karen. But that's neither here nor there for the point I'm trying to make. Which is this:

You can be virtuous and still swing a sword. Degenerates get away with their depravity not because we do not join them down in the filth, but because we do not defend decency and virtue with a sharp enough blade. We conceded the high ground a long time ago, handed over all of the mouthpieces of media and colleges and entertainment. Simple as that. Pornography rots the mind, rewires it to need more and more of itself, and in darker forms. This is a free nation (for now), so do what you will personally, but that means others are also free to rail against the chains used to drag us ever lower into the Pit.

Degenerates get away with their depravity not because we do not join them down in the filth, but because we do not defend decency and virtue with a sharp enough blade. We conceded the high ground a long time ago, handed over all of the mouthpieces of media and colleges and the boards of many businesses. Simple as that.
