"Their new girlfriend is... women" Huh.

We can solve most of the political problems in western countries with one simple change: an upper age limit on voting.
If under 18's can't vote, why can those over 70? Having worked in residential Aged Care (Australia), I know the oldies are all still voting and they're voting conservative.
Ya know what would solve everyone's problems? Removing money from politics. Or just removing money from the rich. Or both.
Nahh, that's the wrong way to go about it. We need an upper age limit on political office.
Nah this is just ageism. Now, I do think there might be a conversation to be had about once medical power of attorney goes into effect if the individual should no longer be permitted to vote, but there's no set age where everybody lacks the mental faculties to vote.
I've had relatives knocking on deaths door by age 60, and I have a 100 year old relative who drives the Amish around as his retirement gig
If it’s ageism then there shouldn’t be any minimum age for voting either, no? By your logic, since there’s no set age for lacking the mental cognition to vote, under-18s should be allowed to as well.
Should it not go for the reverse as well? Some 14 year olds are smarter than a lot of 30 year olds, but I don't ever see anyone advocating for them to get voting rights.
I see both sides. There is no good way to cognitively test either, as that could be abused as well. Age limits would help, for both voting, as well as term limits for the politicians.
That said, I believe there is far far far more wrong with the country which if fixed wouldn't even need any of the above to be significantly better.

What would this accomplish other than guaranting the abolition of Social Security and Medicare?
It'd would prevent the elderly from locking in far reaching, irreversible destruction to the environment because they either don't understand the damage they're doing to future generations. Either that or they don't care, which is highly likely.

I haven't seen anything to suggest this problem is unique to the elderly.
There are plenty of Republicans that pretend to be folksy morons. Tuberville is the genuine article.
Not having A Xenomorph queen for A girlfriend is A bit of A skill issue tbh.
I will concede every girlfriend I've had has been a woman, scandalous I know, and an adult one even.
It's because of guys like Tuberville that I do not regard myself as a man anymore.
I mean seriously, masculinity currently is defined in media by folks like Matt Walsh, Ben Shapiro and Joe Rogan (and before them, Donald Trump and Bill O'Reilly).
When I was a kid, masculinity was defined by the capacity to be responsible for a nuclear bomb and not launch it. Id est, to be able to take care of business without being petty. Then that just became common adulting, and everyone is supposed to do that.
And now we've got a man in office in the White House who is eager to launch nukes and end civilizations (and has had to be told no more than once regarding nuclear authorization).

you choose how you define your masculinity.
I prefer to think in terms of "mature adult vs petulant / immature" rather than in gender terms.
I happen to pee standing up, but so what?
That's the thing. I can't think of a single trait that is preferable for men to have but women not, or for that matter, vice versa.
I used to be a gender abolitionist, and the only reason I'm not is because I can see how much it means for trans folk to represent at the gender they identify with. (I also hypothesize that it's similarly important for self-identified alpha-males, who just don't feel masculine enough no matter how much they try.)
This is the same shit who blocked high rank military promotions?
Aren't young men turning away from the right in droves? Could be another accusation that in reality is just a confession.
Democratic politicians, Republican politicians and Billionaires all want you to believe the Democratic party is too far left to appeal to voters.
ICE isn't being staffed by the elderly.
There continues to be an enormous base of young republicans and religiously indoctrinated conservatives.
women make up a large amount of voting power, and the gop is scared of that.
what's wild is that donald trump has been a globalist his entire adult life; he literally made his career on it. so what do they really mean when they accuse someone of being a globalist? huh interesting.
How damaged in the head must you be, to regard "women" as some sort of irrelevant fringe minority group.
I used to roll my eyes when people talked about how Republicans want to take away women's right to vote. Day by day it's becoming more and more believable.

Well I'm glad you managed to finally open them after all that rolling.
I can't think of a time in my life where it hasn't been the case...
The only people Republicans want voting are old rich land and business owning white men.
Usually my girlfriends are women, he's saying I need to date more femboys?
GOP: "Those fucking losers are dating women"
If only the Democrats were half as socialist as they're accused of being
And all the men who vote democrat we will say or imply are not men with like soyboy or some other dumbtrump thing.
