In Germany voting rights can be restricted only in very serious cases like high treason (like inciting a mob to storm and overthrow a lawfully elected government). And it doesnt happen automatically or permanently. It needs a separate judgment for up to 5 years.
In the US you just have to find a way to criminalise your opposition and throw them all into prison. Other autocratic countries already do this en mass.
Yeah… they have plenty of laws on the books that are straight out of the totalitarian playbook. And most Americans think that’s fine… if someone trips and falls… fuck em right?
I feel the same way.
