Is there some benefit here for Trump voters?

I don't see it.

But then again, I don't see how a trade war against the world is going to "Make America Great Again" either. It is much more likely to do the opposite.

They are encouraged to use abstention, that way only Bad People get STDs.

Edit: I was going to say, also don't get raped, but then I remembered, only people asking for it, i.e., Bad People get raped.

Is there something wrong with the practice of abstinence, or marital fidelity?

I mean, sex inevitably causes babies: it’s an incontrovertible but inconvenient truth for the modern urban human species. But we were designed that way, yes?

Why are you having a debate here? People are trying to understand the benefit for Trump voters, they are not directly taking a position.

Abstinence and fidelity are good things, and so is curing diseases.
