“I think we need a maximum voting age.

In the U.S.A for example – from the 1960s civil rights movement to 2010 the vast vast majority of voters didn’t seem to understand that gay people are human beings with rights and not to be treated like scum.

But now? After that bullshit – and needing to be dragged kicking and screaming into not being piece of absolute garbage? They are still thought of as perfectly capable intelligent and clearly “should be given an equal say” voters?

Why? They just demonstrated a startling STARTLING lack of common sense, basic decency, and freedom from ancient oppressing indoctrination. We should treat that whole older generation of voters with disdain and possibly bar them from contributing to future decisions because of this demonstrated inadequacy.

and look what they did with the climate of the planet in that same period.

and the economy – what happened to income inequality, debt, and jobs in that same period?

and they also told us how evil drugs are. And how much we need their greater guidance on that issue, look what this has done to mexico, to opiate deaths, and to incarceration.

and they managed to pass a law saying money = speech and coprorations are people

and they managed to rape the constitution with the patriot act, start torturing, illegal invasions, and spy on everyone. literally everyone.

But lets keep letting them vote as if they are the moral equal of a person who has for their whole life managed to not think gay people should be oppressed – not think we should lock people in cages for engaging in leisure time activities – and not think we should consider corporations people and just legalize corruption.

Right?

If you make the maximum voting age 50 I bet you my bottom dollar in 3 generations everyone exclaims at once “holy shit that worked out incredibly better than anyone expected”
