Yes, I've seen the Simpsons episode where Mensa takes over Springfield.
But seriously, getting rid of the electoral college is a good start.
The issue isn't that low IQ people or uneducated people were allowed to vote. It's that those that stand to loose the most were actively prevented from voting. Whether by people hanging around outside polling stations or mass queries as to individuals right to vote.
That is a direct attack against the people, undermining their democratic rights and setting up the overthrow of democracy.
Restricting suffrage isn't the answer, expanding and reinforcing it is.
I wasn't being serious when I said that about voting power equivalent to IQs, that's why I added "but seriously get rid of the electoral collage" but YES! Trump is literally a fascist who forcefully tried to change the result of an election by overthrowing the government! This is a direct attack on our democracy and one of many! Why don't people get that? Why am I the one getting shit for calling Trumpism the fascist cancer that it is on an atheist site on a thread titled The Official Damned Trump thread?! This is a huge fucking deal! I've never been more scared for our democracy!
