    The problem is that it’s political suicide to be the “pro sex, pro smut” politician. Consistently the counters to anti sexual freedom laws have come from the courts. By saying “age verification on porn has gone too far,” a politician more or less accepts that their entire campaign is going to be about this. And when that happens the right has the advantage because they have the ability to be short and quippy as they misrepresent you and play to emotions.
