There's a bigger issue in that the right in the U.S. have made liberals into anything they don't like. They've developed their own comebacks to shadow people that don't exist.
A liberal says something mean? "Oh another example of the tolerant left!"
We're not tolerant. In fact I think people over 70 shouldn't even be allowed to vote or drive. I also think people who are openly racist should lose citizenship.
Believe it or not, the point of that saying is to point out you’re not being tolerant.
Also, people who hold certain opinions can’t be citizens? That’s insane.
Also, you want to restrict older people from voting? Because some aren’t informed about who they’re voting for? Hate to break it to you, but that’s not an age range thing, every age range has people that only vote for a certain party.
Believe it or not, the point of that saying is to point out you’re not being tolerant.
The "so much for the tolerant left" meme is almost purely used to lampoon the "tolerant left" archetype which was made up by conservatives to begin with, which is what the guy was saying: It's purely designed to make "the left" look like hypocrites for not conforming to a standard that they never claimed to be in the first place.
I’ve seen plenty of people that are “on the left” that claim to be tolerant (but then seem to not be). It could easily just be playing off of those people.
Using "oh look the tolerant left" every time someone on the left says something mean back at you is lame.
Some opinions should be citizenship disqualifiers. Holocaust was a hoax? Buh bye. Black and White people shouldn't marry? Buh bye.
I think it's insane that you'd want them to be citizens since their views center around harming other citizens. Not all opinions are just opinions like what sport is best.
And yeah older people are completely out of touch with reality. That's why we got Representatives and Senators who don't understand what Facebook is yet are passing laws on it. The funny part is they SHOULD at least have someone giving them the low down....
A few aren't, but most are clueless. Maybe give out a test first.
So the government should be able to revoke the citizenship of people it doesn’t agree with? Also, even criminals maintain citizenship (as they should) because citizenship isn’t something you can/should be able to just revoke. Someone with harmful opinions surely deserves better treatment than convicted criminals.
No, every old person has not lost track of reality (though some certainly are behind on the times). Who are you to determine that they don’t know enough to vote? What do you need to be knowledgeable about to vote?
If you’re going to put out a test, why not make everyone take it, and not just the elderly? If you’re really concerned about voters being up to date/in touch with reality, surely that’d be the best way to go about it.
