Matt Walsh Gives EPICALLY Stupid Voting Rights Take 

So do you really wanna do that?

These people think that the constitution = bible

@@sanepillow59that is because the Bible and constitution to them are just foundational texts that say whatever they feel they should say. It is like them saying we should get to make up the rules based on our feelings because the Bible and constitution to them just say what they think they should say. They pick and choose what parts they like and ignore the rest

You just know that Sarah Palin, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebart would be eliminated.

This is exactly what would happen. A few years back, I was getting my hair cut. My barber is not at all stupid but with that said, he is old and always has FOX news on. He didn't realize that the affordable care act was the same thing as Obama Care. From my understanding, this was extremely common.

Yes! I've wondered for a long time why non-Republicans don't run that footage in a virtual loop always. He actually says out loud, "when everyone votes, Republicans lose." Not sure how the vote-suppressors can answer to that.

Ding ding 🛎️

Yea, the people who want to just pillage the place will always outvote those who want to take care of it.

@@darkgardener9577 you got that mixed up, kid...nice try though, qultist...

@@IMPOTUSx2 How am I mixed up?? History is littered with democracies that voted themselves into the shitter. The USA is doing it live in real time as we speak. You can't name ONE SINGLE successful open and free democracy that didn't end that way. The parasites who just want FREE SHIT!! and always vote to kill the host. They never vote for the hard things to do to preserve the nation and do what's best for the citizenry. "FREE SHIT!!" always wins.

Never go full Ralph Wiggum. You saw off your oligarch that way 😂

We all know that conservative destroy everything and then refuse to take responsibility for their actions

Because that was always the plan. Deny education to all but the rich, then deny rights to all but the educated. It's how you implement oligarchy in a democracy.

Ive never heard a republican ask that.

Conservatives: "Close the borders and help Americans first" "America first!!" Rest of America: "Okay let pay our workers, fund our education to compete with China, and alleviate homelessness starting with our veterans" Conservatives: *Crickets*

God doesn't decide who can vote. Our constitution does.

Oh matty boy is not gonna like that

I think he should have to answer that question.

one, you're mistaken that anybody on the daily wire actually uses logic. two, the god that MAP Walsh believes in would grant the cons permission to murder anyone who doesn't agree with them.

They have the right to vote. Have you read the constitution Matt. You are not changing the constitution.

In other words, his political proposal is a good one. MR needs to get over their "waaaah historical voting suppression of minorities" talking point and recognize that a basic civics test (like the kind we have for granting citizenship) would overwhelmingly disqualify Trumptards.

They always made exceptions for the "right people"

@@PatrickWDunne or clips from “The Good Liars”, as a Canadian I would make Matt Walsh watch Rick Mercer’s Talking to Americans, to show him just how American Reactionary brain rot goes back

@@richardarriaga6271 Ah yes the Whi…I mean the “right people” 🙄

Maybe just maybe he thinks he will the one who decides the standards for the testing? If that is the case he would make the questions about the pretend "facts" that you hear about on the right side media. I hear them say stuff literally in congressional hearings that I have to look up to find out what they are talking about and 80 percent of the time it is dubious at best 😳🙄

Wearing frilly clothing and dancing on a reality show will totally showcase his alpha male masculinity

@@kriswillman2779 Not to mention the gay love scene in that student film.

Seder should have worn a flannel shirt (He already has the beard..) just to satirize Walsh.

The truest statement ever. Sometimes I wonder what must have happened to Matt as a kid because I think he is a true believer and I think it must have come from something traumatic considering the level of anger.

Have you seen him without the beard? It's all glass under there.

Right... So you're saying maybe this is a good idea?

@AxeManOfSuburbia no. I would never take away anyone's rights. I'm just pointing out the irony of Matt thinking democrats would be the majority of the ones who can't vote if his idea was reality.

"I love the poorly educated!"

Hell, trump would not be eligible to even vote.

"I´m a conshdidoodishnisd"

Yup it seems that he did not realize this rule would only effect the maga conservative who thinks the first amendment is Twitter And the second amendment is just 4 words. Also that means trump cannot vote since even though he going to jail for it does not know what the act he broke is at all...

Dunno. Probably. Would he ever admit it?

Right? As if Republican voters do anything aside from fill in the bubble with the R next to it, ignoring literally everything else.

He should hes talking about taking the country and running it off the cliff, (looks at today's news about the Republican party even admitting they are the only ones responsible about trying to shut the government down.) Hmm, hes making a good point there is a party running the country off the cliff.

No he is talking about ANYBODY whether it be conservatives, liberals, or anyone in between who does not have a BASIC understanding of their own government. You guys are so quick to think he is saying it's a way to discriminate against liberals. When he never once said that or really even implied it. Are liberals projecting here, assuming if such a test did exist, more of them would likely fail? If you are so sure it would eliminate more conservative voters than liberal ones then why would it be an issue to have them EARN it? You guys are acting like he is trying to devise the most complicated test ever that would eliminate most people. So I agree that we should not allow everyone to vote simply because they have reached the age of 18. There are way too many people in this country over 18 who know just as little about civics and government as the average four-year-old. Hence, the reason we don't allow four-year-olds to vote, they haven't gotten a clue about anything pertaining to civics. But the average adult SHOULD. We have to pass all sorts of exams/tests to prove we understand things so why should voting be any different? Do you really want people who have no clue to how our government operates having an effect over issues that pertain to you.

And, as a 'Merikan, I'm certain of it.

God you Canadians always have to chirp, don’t ya? You sent us Jordan Peterson, Gavin McGuiness and Steven Crowder. Show some humility.

Ted Cruz also lol@@lukemadrid5711

I can confidently say, sight unseen, the average Canadian 3rd grader knows more about civics than every republican and all of our law enforcement combined.

@@lukemadrid5711 Thank God both countries support free speech eh! And hey, I never sent anyone, let alone Jordan Peterson, Gavin McGuiness or Steven Crowder.

You voted for a guy who sniffs kids... let that sink in.

Yup, which is why Clementine Caligula said “I love the uneducated”

Right that would be actually a great question for one of these civics tests. "What does the first amendment protect you from... A) laws being passed that abridged your ability that speak freely on public lands or your own private lands. B) demonetization from RU-vid C) being suspended from Twitter / X D) b&c only.

Because they don't actually know the gop platform. The U.S has a really bad problem with low information voters. It also doesn't help that the only other party that actually exists doesn't seem to care about the working class so it gets even easier to be hung up on wedge issues.

Vivek is clearly doing what he's doing for money and attention. The right wing *loves* paying social minorities to be their token and unfortunately desperate (and selfish) ppl take the bait. Some delusional people think that they'll be safe from the GOP as long as they do as they're told, but they are just "useful idiots" that will be thrown aside when they are no longer useful to them.

@@mxnsab8461 doesn't vare about the working class? Are you kidding? what do you think is prompting the labor movement now to continue? Bernie Sanders was the first to join the UAW strike and Biden is joining this week. He also got the railroad workers demands met even if he did initially stop the strike. He ran on $15 minimum wage, he tried to end student loans. He and the current Democratic party is doing a lot for the working class, sure it needs to be done by constant push from the left-wing of the party but they get stuff done. But you wouldn't know if you only watch centrist or right-wing media telling you Democrats spend too much time responding to the pointless culture war bullshit from the right.

Because the average American is incomprehensibly stupid. There are SO many voters that have the stance of "I love guns, I'm a christian, I'm anti-abortion" so therefore they will vote for every Republican down-ballot with ZERO further research.

@@mxnsab8461 hopefully that's finally changing. Maybe Biden is going to redeem himself with the UAW after pooping the nest a bit with the rail workers.

Guns didn't even exist when the Bible was written lol. But governments certainly did, and the Christian viewpoint was render unto Caesar what is Caesar's, as in separation of church and state and religion from politics built right into the Christian philosophy. The theocracy Matt Walsh aspires to is fundamentally anti-Christian

He's a fascist, he openly and proudly brags about it all the time

Meh, probably less anti-American than most people think

Anti American ideals? Or AntiAmerican experience?

@NickleJ Cope

They don't actually like America, American people, or what the country was founded on. Michael Knowles wants to go back to 1000 years ago, before America or democracy was even a thing, and that just floats by conservatives uncontroversially

Yeah, I was immediately thinking. He's right: you don't want people to vote when they don't have that knowledge... so how about educating them, instead of taking away their right to vote.

Exactly more Canadians can pass a US civics exam than right wing Americans could.

I was gonna say, he really wants to prevent his base from being able to cast votes? lol I think everyone can agree that political literacy (not just in the US, but globally) is low, but the solution to that is not restricted voting, it's trying to increase education, awareness, and involvement in politics. I wonder why Matt isn't advocating for those solutions? Couldn't be that he's a Fascist or anything, right? 🤔

@pranays Careful how much praise you give Canadians. I am one, and can tell you the Rightoids up here would be just as happy to be the 51st state if Trump was in charge. 😬

@@frontenac5083 literacy tests from the 19th-20th century should not have their comeback era.

True. Even those who may be unable to understand government or policies have a right to choose who makes decisions as an official that will impact their own personal life.

14th Amendments says I got my voting rights being born here. He needs one of those copies of the Constitution.

But it would be sensible to bar stupid folk 2 stupid people can out vote 1 of intelligence So you end up with stupid laws

​@@dave2408I get what you're saying but when the government has the ability to choose who gets to vote, especially when based on fairly subjective criteria like intelligence, you're just asking for problems. IQ and educational opportunities correlate heavily with economic status (schools are literally funded by property taxes) so in effect we'd just be punishing people for being born in poor or working class areas. Also tons of technically intelligent, well educated people vote for well educated candidates who enact what I'd absolutely call stupid laws while a lot of less intelligent people vote for good stuff. It's less a matter of intelligence and more a matter of priorities, as the further up the economic totem pole you are the less likely you are to care about what helps the greatest number of people. Either way the solution wouldn't be to take away people's voting rights, it would be to increase the amount and quality of education everyone has access to. Conservatives like Matt Walsh want to punish the less fortunate for not living up to the same standards as people with way more opportunities. I'm sure he's well educated and yet his career and many of the policies he supports go directly against scientific consensus with no real evidence to support holding such a position. A lot of policy doesn't require much knowledge about politics to come to the right conclusion about. A good and relevant example is free school lunches. You don't need to be a political scientist to know that making sure kids have enough to eat is a good thing, yet conservatives have been doing everything they can to stop such legislation from being passed. It's not because they don't know any better, it's because they're ghouls.

@@TayTayMakesBeats that was a lot of typing about a satirical point All these clever folk taking even the premise seriously He wasn’t being serious ffs 🤦‍♀️ Nor does anyone of any political view want this criteria red or blue Though the basic point stands

You can say that again

crazy talk

But if we did a better job at educating people what excuse would we have for taking away their right to vote? You're not thinking in 4D.

Far right conservatives here insist that they believe making it more difficult to vote will somehow make elections more secure. I’m not sure how many of them actually believe that or are just using it as an excuse

People should have to show they can make some kind of effort if they're going to vote. It's an important thing, it should be reserved for people who actually care what they're voting for. I'm talking bare minimum shit, like setting some time aside to go vote in person once every 2 or 4 years. That's really not asking a lot.

​@@markzuckergecko621🙄 most of us have jobs and other responsibilities bro

@@markzuckergecko621And who decides what level of care is needed?

Yes but he’d have a way for white conservatives to pass no matter what.

he also knows it would never happen, so he's safe spouting his smoothbrain rhetoric.

If they have control over the test, they will find a way to make it so only their supporters vote. See also poll tax and the literacy test after the civil war. Also ask an immigrant how they treat LEGAL immigration where they bury us in paperwork, CONSTANTLY ask us questions they know the answers to, just waiting to lunge at us for failing anything. As an immigrant, I know far far far more about the US government and US history than any Republican ever could.

Hes not taking sides on the issue, all he said you should have to take a basic civics test in order to vote. Theres a lot of dumb people in both parties

@@flyinglemon04 nah the ignorant take is just believing the status quo talking points that are dominant in America.. and that’s pretty much Republican.. people educate themselves towards the left.. that is why smarter people tend to vote more left then dumber people. It’s not neutral to screen out ignorant people.. it would hurt republicans unless they were the ones who wrote the test to cater to their talking points

That part right there! Perhaps Walsh should try to implement this on this country's 250th anniversary. How fitting!

Well he'd probably be fine with that too. These types want to revert back to anarchy so it becomes a might-makes-right free-for-all again

That part!

Yes. He’s painfully boring and profoundly unintelligent, so he has to resort to shock jock tactics

This is a increasingly more common talking point since Vivek began saying it. I would imagine they are testing the waters, see how far they can push it into the mainstream Republicans. It is a contradiction to their prior beliefs that is pretty damn explicit. However that doesn't mean there can't be some way they can make it work. This is what they do all the time, if something seems to catch in their audience they will boost it. This is a tactic, knowingly or unknowingly, they are really putting into use.

That's been my opinion of him for awhile.

@@cjtherou4427 I confess that I missed most of his "content" up until the "documentary" about what a woman is.

That’s a great point .

Yes but a lot of those with that qualification are also stupid We need a better solution

​@@dave2408The point is his own solution would punish the conservatives the most since education would be the most likely criteria. But let's be real matt just wants to ride his own civics test... And basically if you agree with Matt you get to vote.

@@michaelcorcoran8768 given the difference on demographics and the fairly even split of red and blue it’s going to impact politics in a pretty even manner Unless you think the people who don’t vote like you makes them stupid or less intelligent than you But you would need to be right up your own rectum to think like that

This man thinks he knows more than scientists. Couldn't even get through college in any field, but he has more authority than the people who know what they are talking about because he is a special snowflake

Like all psycho fundies and assorted theocratic fascists, what "God" wants is whatever they want at any given moment, they're just too cowardly to stand by their own principles. It's easier to project their will through an outside authority figure so they can have plausible deniability when things don't work in their favor.

You see you agree with him then

​@dave2408 no, not the same. Saying that there are dumb voters or voters you don't agree with is not the same as suggesting stopping people from voting.

Whatever, but everyone is more literate than you and Sam. Were you taught to despise the correct use of capitals, commas, and subject verb agreement? Were you taught that having good writing skills is a sign of being a white racist?

Apparently this irony went over both his and MR's head. The latter whined about historical racial discrimination instead of recognizing that a civics test would primarily eliminate low-information conservative voters.

​@@synchronium24Which is still un American

@@synchronium24 apparently MR's point went over your head too. They "whined" about racial discrimination because it's the same practice, regardless of the intended target. Sure, the conservative base would get hurt. But so would racial minorities. The ends do not justify the means. Nothing went over MR's head, you're just being moronic. When Matt's BS sounds a lot like historically racist practices, of course they're going to talk about those historically racist practices and how they benefit his conveniently pale audience and their mental image of "People who shouldn't vote".

He doesn’t care about them. Only the wealthy. He once to return to when only wealthy people could vote.

I worked on college campuses from the 90s until 2015 and noticed the same thing. I blamed it on colleges becoming money printers and trying to get as many checks as they possibly could. It was much more broad and universal. Conservatives destroyed education and the "liberals" let them.
