(145,321 posts)The GOP knows that they cannot win races with current demographic trends. The white vote is becoming a smaller part of the voting population and so they need to restrict the vote of others

(12,586 posts)I heard a Republican who had not served a single day in the military argue that those who have served in a war zone should be disqualified from voting on militarys issues because they had had an actual experience of what it was like to be in battle.
Huh?

(11,612 posts)Not everyone is childless by choice (me) and even if they are they shouldn't lose their right to vote.

(65,076 posts)We wanted a kid or 2.
My wife miscarried 4 times. The last one early in the fifth mom.
Was too traumatic, so that killed that plan.
So, childless & liberal we are.
And, despite what those Faux drones think about it, we vote!
MustLoveBeagles
(11,612 posts)I miscarried once and then no luck after years of trying. Don't know if I'll keep trying. We'll see.

But, no.

(101,321 posts)Not sure what to call them.
Important to note they're playing off a J.D. Vance brainfart. I've got to say it; this embodies the Nazi obsession with "having children is the only moral thing to do". He is a dangerous man, who will say anything to get elected. Even if he doesn't this time, he'll try again. I worry he is that "Trump that can think" that we're so worried about.

(50,560 posts)I read the original article. They suggested that one of the Fox News people who has nine children should receive nine votes to use as she sees fit, but that someone like me who has no children should receive no votes.

(184 posts)does that mean that 'we' childless liberals don't have to pay taxes. You know, no taxation without representation. If you won't let me vote, then you shouldn't expect me to pay taxes.
What a dumb... !

Pure sadistic hypocrisy.
Crunchy Frog
(26,587 posts)Not all of them have babies just out of high school (or earlier).
Do men get points for knocking up random women, or do they need to be paying child support?
Have they actually thought out the logistics, or are they just throwing more shit around?
Deuxcents
(16,248 posts)First, its not gonna happen but since they dont know the Constitution, theyll keep throwing shit out. Ridiculous to think these people think we gotta carry our kids birth certificates to the polls! Im afraid to laugh at some of this stuff b/c it IS frightening how their minds work.
Celerity
(43,415 posts)discussed.
Instead, an equally insane idea was. JD Vance wants to give votes to all children from birth until they turn 18, and LET THE PARENTS control those votes.
So a QMAGAt family with 7 kids (all under 18) would have NINE votes that the parents (likely the father as that is how most of those fuckers so often roll) decide how to allocate.
Of course, many non Rethugs have big families too, BUT I would very much wager that a higher percentage of non Rethug big fams do not vote versus Rethug big fams. That means a HUGE net boost for the Rethugs.
Also, a further NIGHTMARE.
IF this did happen, just think of the forced breeding that would likely occur when big big daddy QMAGAt forces his 'holy vessel' aka wife to spit out an extra 3,4,5 little 'votes'.
