The median age of people 18+ in the US (total potential voters), is 47. The 80+ demographic is really small. If those folks are voting in ways that are detrimental to others, the solution is to increase voting among other groups.

Make election day a mandatory holiday for anyone outside first responders, and guarantee those folks a half day. Expand mail-in voting. Expand early voting.

There are dozens of solutions that don't include telling people they don't get all the rights of full citizens.

Who decides how old is "too old?" And what happens when the people approaching that age decide that young people (18-30) are the real problem and remove rights from them in retaliation?

This is the sort of thing that people shout in anger into the mirror at night, but any actual plans fall apart immediately.

Never give your political allies a power (in this case, removal of voting rights) you wouldn't also give your political opponents. Your "side" won't always be in charge, and what sounded good to yourself may be terrifying when wielded against you.

You're thinking of Kash Patel. This other guy pledges his allegiance to pedophiles and gets black out drunk on DOD time.

Edit: Neither should be confused with the guy who pledges his allegiance to pedophiles and gets black out drunk on SCOTUS time.

Trump really has a type.

If they want, they could use this exact same "loophole" to start mass de-naturalization as well.

It shouldn't be done, but if we have to kick out Musk and Thiel, you know, just to show how it very terrible it is, I guess we have to do what we have to do.

Does this mean the next President can rename Florida to Trump-Epsteinland, and Texas to KidKillerKopsia?

If separate aren't a deal breaker, I've been using Nostalgia emulators for a while. They work great with my 8bitdo controllers. NES, GBA, GG and GB/C versions are available. No SNES or Genesis, unfortunately.

Not FOSS and not free for the Pro versions, but free versions are available to see if they work for you.

Not sure about mobile, but on the desktop version of Google Maps, clicking that pin gives a source link:

The pin seems to be in the wrong place (by a few miles), but the contract is real.
