They are sooooooooooo fucking mad that gen z caused the GOP to get wrecked in the midterms lol. Absolutely fuming.
Sure, as long as we also have a competency test for retirees as well.
I wonder who scores better?
Competency tests for everyone!
"These are librul questions! The test is BIASED! The hollowcost is a lie! Ain't no Jews get killed in WWII!"
I'm sure he wants to write the competency test as well. I wouldn't count on it to be fair.
So we're scrapping the 26th amendment, huh?
Not that people who spend all their time purging the voter rolls and making it hard to vote ever cared for it anyway.
But yeah this is a little harder to make happen than this chucklefuck might think. Good thing to run on since he can't follow through on it.
So we're scrapping the 26th amendment, huh?
Our current supreme court considers constitutional amendments to be unconstitutional, so I wouldn't be surprised if they rule in favor of scrapping it
Not yet but I wouldn't be suprised to see Trump and/or Desantis pick this idea up. Also, I think its both 1. funny and 2. telling how scared they are of gen z.
From the guy claiming to want to run the Government like Elon runs Twitter?
That was all I needed to know about him.
Ok, how about nobody below 25 gets taxed then? No taxation without representation.
Felons in states where that loses you voting rights get taxed if they work. Same with if a 16 year old works. We already arent consistent with this one lol
It was always just a slogan for separation from the British Empire.
How about a competency test for politicians, how bout that? Competency in emotional intelligence, reading comprehension, an ethics check, maybe even just a cursory wherewithal check, even just a reality check.
If "alternative facts" are used, reject candidate.
Wait, so his proposal is for voters to become more informed before stepping into a voting booth? Did he think this through?
If conservatives are getting crushed now wait til gen z spite-votes against anything conservative because now they have a better understanding of how democracy is supposed to work. Prime leopardsatemyface in the making.
Hush, millenials spent the last 2 decades getting conservatives to build a brick wall separating the world from hell with them on the other side, don't ruin the whole effort now, they're so close!
Remember when we had competency tests for African Americans in the past? Yea....
Given that young people have a much bigger stake in the future, we should probably do the opposite — let kids vote and disenfranchise the elderly.
And also raise the minimum age for serving in the armed forces to 25?
Lmao you know they desperately want to lower it so they can get their groomer ass recruiters in even earlier. US would absolutely do child soldiers if they could get away with it, they're only barely not doing so now.
But really, we do need (ARBITRARY BARRIER) to (HUMAN RIGHT)
I know why this idea seems attractive to people sometimes, but I don't trust the people in power to administer one in an unbiased way.

I feel the opposite. We should have mandatory voting for all federal general elections. Treat it like jury duty or taxes - voting is a civic duty. You should be compelled to cast a ballot even if you leave it blank because you have no preference.
Of course, this can only workwith automatic voter registration and 100% mail-in ballots.
