That they only attempt to address the number of voters, never this mythical "quality", gives up the Right's game.

Let's be clear- all citizens are stakeholders in our nation and voting is a right.

Let's be clear- MAGAts are the low quality voters they claim to desire excluded.

Who is civically illiterate?
Who is detached from reality?
Who is more dependent in the federal government and our tax dollars?
Who offers greater shelter to ideals hostile to democracy?

That the Right can't and won't answer these questions, just dance around them, speaks loud.

We need to make voting *harder*. Just not for us.

We need to restrict early voting. Just not in states our guy won.

There was *fraud*. Just not in states our guy won. And nevermind that most fraud we catch comes from our voters.

The only group deserving of suffrage are the *contributors*, they argue. The *tax base*. The *stakeholders*.

Ask about white people over 65. Crickets.

If voters can be disenfranchised for being "takers", why shouldn't Mississippi be stripped of its electoral votes?

Crickets.

Okay. So your opposition to gun control is hypocrisy, or?
