      No he is talking about ANYBODY whether it be conservatives, liberals, or anyone in between who does not have a BASIC understanding of their own government. You guys are so quick to think he is saying it's a way to discriminate against liberals. When he never once said that or really even implied it. Are liberals projecting here, assuming if such a test did exist, more of them would likely fail? If you are so sure it would eliminate more conservative voters than liberal ones then why would it be an issue to have them EARN it? You guys are acting like he is trying to devise the most complicated test ever that would eliminate most people. So I agree that we should not allow everyone to vote simply because they have reached the age of 18. There are way too many people in this country over 18 who know just as little about civics and government as the average four-year-old. Hence, the reason we don't allow four-year-olds to vote, they haven't gotten a clue about anything pertaining to civics. But the average adult SHOULD. We have to pass all sorts of exams/tests to prove we understand things so why should voting be any different? Do you really want people who have no clue to how our government operates having an effect over issues that pertain to you.

      ​@@dave2408I get what you're saying but when the government has the ability to choose who gets to vote, especially when based on fairly subjective criteria like intelligence, you're just asking for problems. IQ and educational opportunities correlate heavily with economic status (schools are literally funded by property taxes) so in effect we'd just be punishing people for being born in poor or working class areas. Also tons of technically intelligent, well educated people vote for well educated candidates who enact what I'd absolutely call stupid laws while a lot of less intelligent people vote for good stuff. It's less a matter of intelligence and more a matter of priorities, as the further up the economic totem pole you are the less likely you are to care about what helps the greatest number of people. Either way the solution wouldn't be to take away people's voting rights, it would be to increase the amount and quality of education everyone has access to. Conservatives like Matt Walsh want to punish the less fortunate for not living up to the same standards as people with way more opportunities. I'm sure he's well educated and yet his career and many of the policies he supports go directly against scientific consensus with no real evidence to support holding such a position.
      A lot of policy doesn't require much knowledge about politics to come to the right conclusion about. A good and relevant example is free school lunches. You don't need to be a political scientist to know that making sure kids have enough to eat is a good thing, yet conservatives have been doing everything they can to stop such legislation from being passed. It's not because they don't know any better, it's because they're ghouls.

      If they have control over the test, they will find a way to make it so only their supporters vote. See also poll tax and the literacy test after the civil war. Also ask an immigrant how they treat LEGAL immigration where they bury us in paperwork, CONSTANTLY ask us questions they know the answers to, just waiting to lunge at us for failing anything. As an immigrant, I know far far far more about the US government and US history than any Republican ever could.

    Perhaps we should focus more on teaching students about civics in history classes as well as civics classes. That might at least more people understand the way the government works. Also, reinstitute and expand public information ads similar to the old “I’m just a bill” ones.

    We literally got past these silly arguments with the suffragette movement.
    What he is saying is that I don’t want politicians to take into account the needs of black people, women, homosexuals and poor people.
    He wants to be part of the ruling class.
    He’s the type of person that says the USA is not a democracy it’s a constitutional republic. Though that is a type of democracy…

    One important thing to remember is that people arguing for revoking votes for certain groups never think they're among the group that get their vote revoked. In my opinion, if anything, every person that votes for revoking votes should have their vote revoked. If that revokes my own vote, of course not! I'm not among that group ❤

    When does Walsh not give a stupid take, his own positions have precluded any personal history deemed "harmless". Having done some much damage no penance or appeal makes it possible to criticize or ignore the idiot--his life deserves to become irrelevant, it is how he is living it now. Walsh sounds like an SS officer in Germany in the 1930's and 40's.
