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?

Not if you choose that, but there is a problem attempting to coerce people into it by cutting off any fundings of STD research. And as for yourincontrovertible truth, many people have vasectomies or have contraceptives, so babies aren't actually an inevitability.
