You want them voting? We should require that voters pass some basic knowledge tests.

Why stop there? How about a psychological evaluation? *

Think about how stupid the average person is...

...and then realize half of them are stupider than that.

Yeah, great idea, like a literacy test

That was a way to exclude black voters in the South for about a hundred years.

Brilliant.

I'd use the same basic test I used on a few candidates.

"Who won the 2020 US Presidential Election?"

Answer wrong, you're out.

The nice part is, the wrong answers usually include a ton of batshit crazy to further support the decision.

But certainly half of all Amercians

Exactly half are below median intelligence, not average.

I'll go ahead and give myself the pedant of the day award.

The way IQ is measured and defined

The mean is the mode is the median.

It is normally distributed, and in a population as large as the US, we should expect 1/2 the population above and half below.

It's not like wealth where the average is further to the right than the median due to extreme wealth.

Well you just stole my pedant of the day award.

I actually know next to nothing about IQ, so I had no idea.

Ha, well deserved. *
