      Ok dude. If you want to be mad about this, then be mad.

      By all means, let’s invite more incompetent morons from the right into political offices. Wouldn’t want anyone to think we hate blind people somehow. Because wanting the leaders of a country to be literate is apparently ableist and as morally reprehensible as transphobia and literal slavery lmao. No slippery slopes here!

        Yes, the key to stopping fascists on the right is to engage in hateful fascist rhetoric ourselves /s

        There’s a reason Nazis loved calling people lazy and loved killing disabled people. It’s a bad look on your part.

        Yes, voting rights have indeed been denied based on reading ability. This isnt a slippery slope, its what literally happened. That is unlawful, as is denying someone the right to run for office for the same reason. I think people should be allowed to vote for who they want. If they want to vote for that person, that’s fine. It’s not on us to be control freaks and demand people only vote for who we want. That’s not democracy.

        If you want more competent people in office, the way to fix that is fixing citizen’s united, allowing felons to vote and run for office, to grant greater voting accessibility, and campaign reform. Not to engage in fascist policy by denying people rights.
