    So, a literacy test, which was found to be a basic discriminatory tactic during the Civil Rights era, and you want to bring it back? But it’s okay because it’s the people that YOU hate, instead of the people THEY hate.

    We don’t save Democracy by committing the same crimes that they do. Nobody hates MAGA more than I do, but that’s not the way to purge them.

        That’s what they said about the Literacy Tests, too. Who decides the level of education required, and what “correctly” means? There’s a LOT of room to abuse this strategy, which is exactly why is was made illegal.

        We aren’t going back to literacy tests. Move on.

          Of course you aren’t, it would be undemocratic. The whole thread was about making fun of how incredibly stupid the magas are, but I guess that was not obvious to everyone
