GOP presidential candidate wants to unconstitutionally raise voting age to 25
Biotech millionaire and 2024 Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy this week proposed adding a constitutional amendment to raise the voting age from 18 to 25 unless citizens pass a civics test or enlist for six months of public service.
"We want to restore civic duty to the in, in the mindset of the next generation of Americans. And how we wanna do it is to say that if you wanna vote as an 18-year-old between the age of 18 and 25, you need to either do your civic duty through service to the country," Ramaswamy said aboard his campaign vehicle.
"That's six months of service in either military service or in a first responder, including police, fire, or otherwise. Or else you have to pass the same civics test that an immigrant has to pass in order to become a naturalized citizen who can vote in this country. At age 25, that falls away," Ramaswamy continued. "So in a nutshell, what we're proposing is a constitutional amendment to raise the voting age to 25."

This is certanly easier than to actually come up with ways to bring people to their ideas and policies because they don’t actually have policies or ideas that appeal to younger voters.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
