Why would anyone support uninformed people voting???
Or support idiots voting? This is another of my 'Solution Series' posts.
In all my years of watching politicians speak, whether in interviews, in official proceedings, or on the campaign trail, I don’t recall a single one ever admonishing uninformed people NOT to vote. Why on earth is that?? Why would anyone worthy of holding office want uninformed people, or complete idiots, to be voting???
If it’s a democrat running for or already holding office, I know exactly why they want the uninformed and the stupid voting. But those democrats, which for years has been pretty much all democrats, are not worthy of holding office. The problem is, I don’t hear any Republicans telling people that if they are not well informed on the issues and the candidates as well, that they should not be voting.
For obvious reasons I can understand any candidate not wanting to speak the truth about stupid and/or ignorant people. People do not like to be called stupid, even if they’re dumber than a sack of hammers. Probably a majority of stupid people don’t realize that they’re stupid. They have no idea how much they don’t know and how much they’ll never be able to understand. When you try to tell those people anything about their mental shortcomings, they tend to get very upset. That in turn is going to mean you lose votes.
If you think my constantly pointing out basic stupidity is unfair or uncalled for, or you’re delusional enough to think it’s not a problem, ask yourself why plastic bags have to have warning labels stating “Not A Toy”, and in some cases the warning mentions suffocation? Why do all the little silica dry packs have to say “Do Not Eat”. How about laundry and dishwasher “pods” and the “trend” of kids eating them??? Why do coffee cups need to warn about the coffee being hot???
I could go on and on. ‘The Darwin Awards’ website provides a nice set of examples of the mentally challenged. I don’t think people like this have any business voting and thus determining how this country is run and to a substantial extent controlling people’s lives. It’s a horrible idea, and it’s clearly not sustainable in the long run. Over the last hundred years or so, and the last few decades in particular, the left’s goal is to get as many people voting as possible, and you can see the problems that causes.
Consider some specific examples of who you do or don’t want to be voting:
In 2012 for example, was it a good idea to have people voting who thought Paul Ryan was Obama’s running mate to be voting? Check out the link and listen to the audio of the interviews.
In 2008, was it a good idea to let people vote who didn’t know that it was actually the democrats that caused the mortgage meltdown and related financial crisis?
Were people who couldn’t fill out the old form 1040EZ capable of making decisions about which candidates had good economic plans? Or assessing whether any given finance related ballot initiative should be passed?
Do you want people who believe the earth is flat to be voting? Try doing a search to see exactly what kind of lunacy flat earthers believe, such as there is no gravity and the sun is actually small and very close.
Getting more specific politically, let’s take a look at what left wing/democrat voters believe.
Should people who think that “anti-fascists” dress up in all black, wear masks to hide their faces, and then attack others to intimidate and silence them, be allowed to vote??
Are people who think that those who support individual rights and much smaller and less powerful government are fascists, and that fascism is on the right, capable of making intelligent decisions in any voting booth??
Should people who think George Floyd is a martyred hero, and those same people have no idea of his multiple felony convictions and the fentanyl in his system when he died, be voting?
Should people who are dishonest enough or idiot enough to claim that an unborn baby, with it’s own unique DNA, it’s own heartbeat, and it’s own developing brain, is “part of the woman’s body” be making decisions about who runs this country? (How about if they say “my body, my choice” with respect to baby murder for hire, but then insist women be forced to get experimental and extremely dangerous “vaccines” that may very well kill them? I digress.)
Should people who still consume only left wing media, even after finding out that left wing media has lied to them over and over and over again, be allowed to make decisions that will affect the entire country and everyone in it??? (This post has a handy list about halfway down mentioning many “news” stories and claims that even most left wingers now know were false.)
In complete seriousness, does anyone who voted Biden in 2020, or even worse voted for democrats in the 2022 election, have any business voting????!!!!
I could go on and on, but you get the picture. Why do even Republicans call for everyone to vote??? I don’t want the people I described above to be voting. Hell no! That’s as bad as going to get surgery done and you haven’t even had a medical exam and have no information about what surgery is going to be performed.
In the case of voting it’s actually much worse, because your ignorance and/or idiocy will affect other people and not just you and your family. Just like so many people have been killed or seriously injured by the useless and horribly dangerous Corona “vaccines” forced on them by left wing tyrants voted into office by left wing idiots, in order to keep their jobs or to be able to attend school.
So of course the people I describe above should NOT be voting. My solution is to have everyone correctly answer questions before they can vote for any given candidate or vote on any given ballot initiative. If they could not correctly answer the questions, they would not be able to vote for that person or item on the ballot.
Of course this means NO mail in voting at all, as the questions would be given at the time of voting or just before voting, and you would have to prevent cheating. And this also means that ALL candidates must answer all relevant questions and clearly list their positions on all relevant issues such that voters know what those positions are. I covered this latter point before as part of another point about holding political candidates to their word on campaign promises.
Eliminating mail in voting and the massive fraud that comes with it, and requiring people to actually know the candidates’ positions and know the other ballot issues is HUGE. That alone would preclude left wingers from winning elections in over 85% of the entire country, even population wise. Left wingers voters cheat that much via mail based voting, and are that uninformed/grossly ignorant about who and what they are actually voting for. The Senate would be at least 80 to 20 in favor of Republicans, with the added benefit of getting most of the RINOs out of office, and the House would have 375 Republicans if not more.
And no democrat would stand a chance in the presidential race, nor would RINOs like pathetic Mitt Romney be able to hide. Of course left wing voters would work to learn more (and in the process many of them would leave the left), and left wing politicians would change tactics to try and circumvent having well informed voters, so my estimates above are based on an immediate change to voting. Long term the democrat party would die out due to very little support from educated voters for their insane and destructive ideas and policies.
I would also strongly consider going further. General knowledge testing, U.S. history testing, and IQ testing long before elections to determine who would be eligible to register to vote at all. And ALL U.S. citizens would be required to attend learning sessions at least monthly, whether in person or online. U.S. history (from a truthful point of view with no left wing distortions), the Constitution, world history, tactics of totalitarian regimes (and how they closely mirror left wing policies today), basic economic lessons, etc.
My thought is that being a citizen of this country requires you to put forth an effort to at least be informed enough to make positive contributions, and this is true even if you are ultimately not bright enough to understand well enough to be one of the voting decision makers helping to determine the leadership and future of this country.
Now of course left wingers would immediately cry "Jim Crow”, “poll tax”, “racist”, etc., showing that they don’t believe any “minorities” would be smart enough and informed enough to be voting. And they believe this because they are the true racists. In reality going to any sort of educational requirement for voting is going to exclude mostly left wingers regardless of skin color or other characteristics, because left wingers live in fantasy land. They have no idea of how the world really works. As Donald Rumsfeld might have said, they don’t even know how much they don’t know. (If you’ve got 10 minutes, check out this old video showing just how glaringly misinformed Obama voters were in 2008.) And much of what they do “know” is horribly wrong.
Whatever criteria you want to apply to ensure educated voting, there is one fact that cannot be denied. Continuing to allow completely uniformed and misinformed people to determine the direction of this country is utter lunacy. It is NOT sustainable long term.
Some very logocratic ideas here.
