He is most certainly "America First" in the negative sense of the phrase.

Gee, why would the GOP want to stifle the votes of kids who lived through COVID and GOP inflicted 'gun control' - I cannot image.

I think everyone here knows that already. An amendment won’t pass, so this convo is kind of pointless.

The conversation asking why someone supposedly "brilliant" like Ramaswamy would propose something blatantly unconstitutional and doomed to failure to drum up votes is worth having.

Probably just mocking today’s politicized American Medical Association who declared kids don’t have a developed brain until 25. Surprising how none of you figured that out.

Nope... seems pretty earnest about it...

But it does pose a question about when conservatives' brains fully develop, given all the weird rationalizations and inability to ever face inconvenient truths.

What about 90 year olds like Dianne Feinstein and Chuck Grassley? Should elderly people take some kind of mental acuity exam? This is an honest question, and I’m asking I’m good faith toward those who want to limit voting on the younger end.

I posted earlier about my dumb dumb gen z siblings and the other gen z boneheads I’ve encountered. I would absolutely support requiring cognition tests before those over 80 are allowed to vote.

You sound dumber than your gen z siblings. You'll be the first one to fail that test.

What other country rolls over while its borders are unsecured?

Also cap the voting age. If you aren't going to be around to reap the consequences, you don't get to vote.
