They'd have to repeal the 26th amendment. You know, that constitution thing they think is infallible. Womp womp
youaresoverywrong
18, too old to vote. 10, perfect age to be raped and forced into motherhood. Classic Republicunts.
Sidewaysgts
Mature enough to be forced to have a kid. Mature enough to own a firearm. Mature enough to be sent to war. Not mature enough to vote.
kjbopp
even though it's ok to buy an AR-15 at 13 and have a baby at 10.
cuddlydingo
Okay, stupid question: is GQP the same as GOP?
jgjohn02
Let’s limit the voting age to 70
WorkerLurker
If you didn’t want to be voted against you shouldn’t have dressed your policies that way.
kaymon
The voting age used to be 21 until the draft. They argued that if they could be compelled into war, they should have a voice.
Imgerruinedimger
Draft started 1940. We changed the voting age to 18 in 1971. Just FYI.
rosebudthesled
"Compelled" not ole bone spurs tho.
ThePunishersVengefulBrother
There was a draft for a long time while the voting age was 21.
yourbassist
Ok, can't enlist until 21 either but we're lowering the drinking age to 18.
TheFeelsGoodMan
GQP having some issues understanding linear time. By the time we all vote again, most of these kids are going to be 21 or over.

I’m not for raising the voting age, but raising it to 21 would keep the Aryan youth from being able to vote as well.

shoeonheadanditsyou
but they will send your ass to war at 18!
TheBigBadBonerBiter
Which, if I'm not mistaken, was the whole reason the voting age was lowered to 18 in the first place.
samanthadlcruz
and force rape victims to have a baby at 10...
CityYeti
17, actually.
rosebudthesled
They would rape you at 10 and blame you for beginning you menstrual cycle early.
embodymentofgattaca
And lower the legal working age to 14 in states where they can't convince adults to work for less than a livable wage.
shoeonheadanditsyou
14? bring back Child labour we could have 6 year olds mining coal
magis001
America: you can be imprisoned as an adult ~10yrs old and forced to give birth, but vote? That's for grown-ups..
touristtam
To be fair when you see some of the adult voting position ... Not apologising for them but adulting it tough.
Redyls
dont forget that they can send you off to a war you dont believe in to die
UseTheForceLuke
Awmph
Fucken do it! Vote harder. Skoden!
squelcheswetly
Did I hear somewhere that 40% of Gen Z still voted republican?
Edgekrsher
Guess the age of consent will have to be 21 as well. I’m sure they’ll love that idea
Shiggityshaybae
But I thought terms were 4 years? In 4 years they'll all be 21....
Imalwaysready
They're welcome to do so. All they need is a 2/3 vote in both Houses of Congress & the subsequent approval by 3/4 of all State legislatures.
FoxyEllie
Actually, I'd say we should lower the voting age to 12. After all, if you're old enough to bear a child, you should be old enough to vote.
escalinci
Well, they sure did a good job at reducing the voting population over 65 over the last three years.
fsharpminor3s
Snowflakes! Snowflakes! Snowflakes!
CarlSaganRulez
Soooo they are admitting that the US education system is failing to produce responsible, informed adults by the age of 18?
darkappollo60
They've been saying that for decades. US education metrics were the best in the world in the late 1970s and have been going down ever since.
GerbilHereReportingLiveFromRichardGeresAss
You can point out their hypocrisy till the cows come home, they stopped giving a fuck about integrity eons ago.
evilspock
Maybe I'm just old and cranky, but taking the vote away from 18 year olds seems like a good way to get your shit lit on fire. Just sayin.
CurbYourClassWar
I hope so, but the current youths seem pretty apathetic about it...
Ninjainslippers
I'm 36 and raising the voting age to 21 might compel me to light some things on fire. Candles, obviously. /plausible deniability
Callynd
They do a lot of shit that should get their shit lit on fire. It hasn't happened yet.
evilspock
It has, in the past. Unions used to be fearsome. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Blair_Mountain
Callynd
Oh absolutely. It just hasn't happened this cycle.
bolinotoyou
Their ridiculous 21 suggestion shows how desperate they are, and that they can only succeed by limiting voting. We can safely laugh at them.
oldguyexlurker
"Safely" is questionable. They fund the police better than education for a reason.
FallingStar7669
In this case, yes; they don't have the power to change the voting age. That said, they definitely want that power, so lets have our +
FallingStar7669
+ giggles and then get back to work. This disease is not going away with one election. It'll take decades of focused effort to fix.
