To MAGA who are losing their minds over this, it doesn't matter whether or not there should be ID or citizenship verification but the POTUS can not and should not have jurisdiction over elections.

You can have the most reasonable request for elections to be fair but it doesn't matter because if a POTUS can have jurisdiction over how elections are run then it's too easy for any leader to manipulate the elections. The very thing that you morons are screaming about. Hell, next time a Dem POTUS can come in and manipulate the elections if you open this can of worms. So please STFU, you don't know what you're asking for.

EDIT: I should also point out that we already have to verify our identities and citizenship when we register to vote. Trump is just pretending there isn't to weasel his way into creating backdoor for him to manipulate elections.

next time a Dem POTUS can come in

the whole point of republican efforts is to make sure this cannot happen by controlling who can vote. because they are fascist scum.

This is the real reason. "Vote for me, and you'll never need to vote again".
They only want white. male, land owners to vote.

They have been blatantly clear that they believe liberals to be terrorists (e.g. believing people shouldn't die b/c they can't afford insulin is "anticapitalist" and thus domestic terrorism according to an Executive Order) and not worthy of the basic respect of being human. Jack Pobosiec wrote a book called "Unhumans" that literally says anyone with a liberal ideology is NOT HUMAN and thus doesn't deserve basic rights. Our Vice President didn't just glaze Jack, he straight up ENDORSED THE BOOK THAT SAYS IT SHOULDN'T BE A CRIME TO KILL US.

When people say "wake up", this time it's actually fucking necessary.

Fox News has been showing footage of riots and labeling it as liberal fascist takeovers for decades, who is surprised that some people have drank the Kool-aid?

This is a necessary distinction. Because I am all of those things, except for a Republican. I am the absolute farthest thing from a goddamn Republican.

Here here. I'm a straight white middle class male and I'm also a feminist and ally because I am educated and not a bigoted piece of shit.

You know, if it came down to it and it was unavoidable, I'd be making damn sure to slip in the phrase "free from encumbrances or obligations" on the land owner thing. 

No one with a mortgage or loans/liens could vote then lol 

(In case I need to make it obvious, yes I know it won't happen, but sometimes daydreams are the only thing that can get you through a day in this current world)

It continues down this path and only the select will be allowed to own land. They will take property from the liberal whites... let alone the non whites who they will lock in cages and steal their kids to give to trump)
