I’d like to exclude Trump voters from all future elections. They’re clearly too stupid to handle the responsibility.
Unfortunately they were smart enough to go vote.
Smart? Probably not, but motivated by fear, hatred, and ignorance? Most definitely. Of course, if the specter of a second term didn’t motivate you to vote, then that is not too smart either.
TBH yeah, anybody who votes against democracy itself shouldn't get the privilege, but implementing that fairly would be next to impossible.
It would be trivial. Look how people voted for the last 50 years and note that the south has been basically terrible. Demote all southern states to territories with no voting privileges beyond their own borders. Take away the vote of everyone that lives in the south.
Who cares about fairness the US will be so far ahead in 10 years that nobody will want to go back.
Fucking lol at complaining about Republicans taking money from Democrats while suggesting the solution is to remove constitutional rights from everyone, no matter how they voted if they live in the wrong place.
