It would be nice to have a simple required test on basic history with free materials / books as well. There are too many ignorant citizens uneducated on basic history. Millions have died in wars, executions, starvation from failed socialist governments and idiots still think it's a good idea. Those that gave their lives deserve better than to be forgotten.
Oh yeah, 100%
I remember Kaitlin Bennett / Gun Girl (though she's not my favorite person tbh) did a video where she went and asked people who they wanted to vote for and they said mostly Democrats and then she asked them simple questions about US history and they had no idea at all.
They thought the Revolutionary War was around 1920 and other clueless shit.
As much as that sounds good, it 100% will be abused. Jim Crow laws were used as ways to keep out educated people by giving local officials the ability to create answers that could go both ways then penalizing the answerer when they inevitably got it wrong.
This would be used the same way to keep out the anti-establishment candidates.
Don't think the constitution applies to illegal aliens? Well you'd be wrong because of court decisions, guess you cannot vote.
Careful. We dont put qualifiers on rights. Well, we shouldn't anyhow. We dont want to have to pass a test to exercise our 2nd amendment rights. Registering to vote is the test. A lot of people dont pass that one
The flip side is with rights comes responsibilities, like contributing to society. If you can vote for bread and circuses and 51% of the population decides that's the way to go, your country will never recover.
That's why we have electoral college. Especially since the states used to be way less intertwined.
Then when 51% of the electoral states have a majority that wants to vote to confiscate the other 49%s wealth. The electoral college does not save us from the tipping point into democratic socialism.
Only land owners should have a vote since they have an obvious alignment of long term goals, i.e. to make the country more propserous. Obvious exceptions include military service, but we have a bunch of people voting nowadays that see the government as a big piggy bank and don't care for it's long term health.
t. non-landowner
But that would perpetuate white supremacy! What about all the people with IQs too low to pass the test, or migrants who don't care about our history and are only here to live off our social safety net? Democrats would be at a disadvantage if they couldn't sell our country out to these people!
