what are we going to do about it? - continue to let them have a say in democracy?
Yes, because without their voice, it’s not democracy anymore. That’s how democracy works. The only thing you really can do is try to educate the ignorant.
yeah, that’s not working, and i’m more interested in avoiding the consequences of their policies than i am protecting their freedom. they’ve been educated for the last 2 decades and they’ve only dug their heels in deeper. there’s only one solution at this point.
I’ll hear what they have to say, but if it’s not grounded in science/reason/common sense, it has no place in law. And their votes shouldn’t be worth a staggering amount more than everyone else’s.

It’s still democracy if it has entry requirements, and it’d probably function better.
Voting tests in the US were abolished for a reason
Because they were explicitly created to disenfranchise black people.
