The State of the Republican Party Post-2017

[Senkaku]

And? Why does someone else doing a bad thing make it okay for you to do, exactly?

Why doesn’t it?

It's this kind of thinking that will #MAGA I'm sure lol

[Telconi]

Only frauds vote for bad policies...

"voter fraud is real because things i don't like happened!!!!1"

lmk when you find some actual evidence hon lol

besides "my aunt said she saw mexicans at the polling station and told infowars about it!"

It's an entirely different beast than gun control. Pick a different issue to be whataboutist about if you want to deflect about guns when talking to "fellow" Dems :^)

It was sarcasm...

If Chicago was removed from voting... That would be the definition of making Illinois great.

You know I wasn’t seriously saying firearms should be universally issued right?

But anyway that’d Be Chicago’s problem. Not my concern. Not like they have concern for anyone else in their state.

"fuck my fellow citizens, my hilariously bad policies and their impact are their problem not mine"

But I'm glad you at least weren't serious.

We also have crazy high amounts of uninformed voters who ruin everything. We both know we need a poll tax to stop the commies.

I too want to give the GOP an excuse to implement nationwide Jim Crow

He was pointing out to an opponent how ridiculous their point was. They stated how restricting voting would be a violation of rights - so he countered with the above scenario.

I agree with him that we need to restrict voting to fewer people - but it needs to be based upon tests of basic political knowledge. The uninformed should not be allowed to vote.

You should do it better then

Direct rule from NYC over the Midwest when tbh

Only wealthy Vietnamese people should be allowed to vote. Everyone else just sucks.

The point had nothing to do with voter fraud, and everything to do with people casting bad votes. People cast bad votes, but we still extend the right to vote to them. Why?

[Petrasylvania]

Young man if you try to implement a poll tax, no visits to the shooting range for a week!!!!1

No but seriously a poll tax is a bad idea and we're not doing it

I agree, tis just fun to shitpost sometimes.

Though an Affordable Militia Act doesn't sound half bad...

AKA What Needful Things Teased Us On.

I like that book. Well, most of it.

[Corrian]

What happens if people don't want this Affordable Militia Act weapon? A mandate like the ACA?

Because it's a fine line between telling stupid people they can't vote and getting shut out ourselves because we're on the wrong side of a political divide, and no one wants to be disenfranchised. You'd think, as someone who regularly complains about how he's disenfranchised by the Democratic Party's stances, you'd be more sympathetic and see the nuances that make this pretty much impossible to approach (to say nothing of the historical baggage).

I agree with him that we need to restrict voting to fewer people - but it needs to be based upon tests of basic political knowledge. The uninformed should not be allowed to vote.

It's all fun and games till some clever party operatives from the other side are writing that "political knowledge" test :^)

You could have an exception for religious objection.

[Albrenia]

I'd imagine the 'bad votes' would be whoever disagrees with you?

I fully understand the ramifications. I'm trying to illustrate the parallels to a policy that requires a firearms license to be purchased, with the fees and exam written by someone who insists the second amendment doesn't apply to civilians.

That is just as bad as a poll test.

They will be forced to pay a fine if they don’t buy a gun they can’t afford. If you disagree you are greedy and racist against the race of the president who signed the law.


Also if you like your rifle, you can keep it.

[Arlenton]

Thank God I left.

Get back here!

I’ll be back for most of next month and until the end of January.

Close. Everyone who isn’t rich and Vietnamese.

You mean people can't get guns based on preexisting conditions and have a lifetime cap on guns they can get right now? Where are the disarmament panels?

If I eat enough pho, can I become an honorary Vietnamese?

I’m from Illinois actually. But I left in August.
