    I know a fair number of Conservatives that believe women and minorities should be excluded from voting. Not in dog whistle form either; just blatantly believe only white men should vote

      Which shoudn’t be that surprising, this was the norm in many places until relatively recently. Women, people of color and poor people were never really meant to participate in the “democratic process” (at least as far as conservatives are concerned). The only reason why they were eventually allowed was because they fought for it and eventually, people in power got too scared not to give in a little bit until we are where we are today.

      Maybe I’m too pessimistic, but to me, it’s surprising that there aren’t more conservatives with this view. Because the conservatives who support (basic) women’s rights are essentially saying “you violent lefties were right and correct in the past for fighting what you believe was right, but whatever you are doing right now goes too far for some reason”…

    @braingetter is Caleb Pitts from Podcast About Lists. He’s a comedian and this is 100% irony. He is making fun of people who think like this.

    “Braingetter”. If usernames were side quests, this one would remain unachieved indefinitely.

    If you propose some type of intelligence test for voting to these same guys, they immediately back off. It’s only a good rule to them if they automatically qualify. :)

      Here’s an easy test:

      • Should women be allowed to vote?
      • Should anyone in the LQTBQ+ community be allowed to vote?
      • Should any person of color (PoC) be allowed to vote?
      • Should former convicts be allowed to vote?

      If they answer no to any of these, they’re disqualified from voting themselves.

      Many of them would be more than happy to support the historically racist, authoritarian, and disenfranchising idea of intelligence tests to qualify for voting.

    Unfortunately for the nazis, women often vote more left than men. Hence they want to prevent them from voting to gain power. Classic nazi move.

    What I hate most about this is there actually are women’s elections somewhere. In Rojava they’re a way of protecting women’s rights and political enfranchisement while surrounded by extreme misogyny in neighboring cultures.

    Yes they should, but they should also still be able to participate in the regular elections like usual.

    How the fuck did that get 3.6k likes?

    Update: Apparently he is a comedian and it’s a joke. But it doesn’t look like a joke if you don’t know the guy.
