I am not a consumer of adult content though I used to be. I firmly believe adult content will be outlawed in the near future

Outlawed by who, where? There are always places that will outlaw things but it now serves a lot of them to use it as an excuse to ID Internet users.

The people that are doing it to monitor the internet do have a schism with their voter base.

The groups that get Republicans in primaries tend to be heavily conservative/Christian, then they get voted in because they have an R next to their name. The voters may not even agree with most of the things said politician says, but it has turned into a performative act by that point.

And that's how you get porn users to ban porn.

Much like get got farmers to vote against their best interests.

they've already started banning it e.g via ID laws

same as gambling.

these things are like swings - go back & forth throughout history.

what's interesting me to me is how quickly the mood went from a very liberal approach to things to very conservative within 20 years

Gambling? Gambling is more widely available and celebrated than it ever has been. Its regulations have been eroding faster than water through sand.
