There's nothing misanthropic about acknowledging the average person doesn't have the capacity to make informed decisions. You go on to make this point later in your post, yikes.
I can call someone stupid and still enforce their right to vote as easily as you can call someone stupid and advocate against their right to vote.
I agree, white trash on welfare shouldn't be able to vote either. I prefer we do away with voting all together.
In a perfect world we wouldn't have to vote. I agree, but this is where we are right here and now.
Removing people's rights to vote based on something like welfare is a great way to fuel a war based on classism. The basis of everybody having the right to vote is that no one person or institution, including the government can control who is worthy of voting. The minute that goes away, even if it was tangential at best, is the minute everyone will try to fight the system for their right to be heard.
If I had my druthers and was given a guarantee that people wouldn't revolt, I'd base one's right to vote on their intelligence, morality, and ethics, but as this could never be done, the next best solution is just letting everyone vote.
Add up the electoral votes from NY, Cali and Illinois. You're over third of the way to the presidency without having to do shit. These people are literal cattle who blindly follow their rootless cosmopolitan masters. At least white trash in the above referenced states don't reliably vote 90% for the same party every single time.
Sure, but if you add up Texas, Florida, and Pennsylvania you get 87 electoral votes right there. While it is not the 104 that you gave with your choice of states, it's still sizable. And given that dozens of Middle-America flyover states are predominantly red every election; I'd beg to differ on white trash being any better than the urbanites you scrutinize.
Same coin, different side.
