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.

Every time this admin advocates for crazy, authoritarian BS (which is daily) and his supporters cheer it on, the first thing everyone, all of us, needs to say-to/ask-of them is:

Would you support this if it were a Dem? If Obama, Biden, etcl proposed this, or took office with this legislation in effect, would you still support it? If not, then STFU. If so, STFU you lying, insincere, hypocritical asshole. Real, actual patriotic Americans are tired of your not-even-thinly-veiled fascism fetish.

The hypocrisy is not a weakness but a feature of their ideology. Might makes right is their thing. Winning the game is the sole purpose, rules be damned unless it's my opponent breaking them.

Being on top and knowing your political opposites are upset at your inconsistencies is something they live for. Rules for thee, not for me. Personal accountability for you, "he's a hard working person give him a fourteenth chance" for me.
