Trump rally emcee: Ban women voters who use ‘free contraception’ and we will ‘win every election’ Da

[UCmeNdc]

Wayne Allen Root, who has spoken at presidential rallies with Donald Trump, this week called strip voting rights from welfare recipients and women who use “free contraception” provided by the Affordable Care Act.

During a discussion with radio host Rob Schilling on Monday, Root explained that conservatives would “win every single election” if people who received government services were barred from voting, Right Wing Watch reported.

“So if the people who paid the taxes were the only ones allowed to vote, we’d have landslide victories,” Root told Schilling. “This explains everything! People with conflict of interest shouldn’t be allowed to vote.”

“If you collect welfare, you have no right to vote. The day you get off welfare, you get your voting rights back,” he continued. “The reality is, why are you allowed to have this conflict of interest that you vote for the politician who wants to keep your welfare checks coming and your food stamps and your aid to dependent children and your free health care and your Medicaid, your Medicare and your Social Security and everything else?”

1. Stuck in the puke bubble

With no concept of reality

[democrattotheend]

2. So of course, that should also extend to corporations that get bailouts or subsidies, right?

None of their employees and especially their management employees should be able to vote either, right?

How is it free contraception when we pay for it as part of our insurance premiums?

[Hortensis]

8. Not quite. People who own and run corporations

prove their value to society through their accumulations. The least we can do is give a little back -- as needed -- and be grateful for all they contribute.

And, no, I'm not actually kidding. Most conservatives think this way. It's a gut thing.

[Maeve]

3. Ok...so everyone on Social Security can't vote??

That might end the Republican party right there!

The stupid burns strong in this one.....

[0rganism]

9. and how about shareholders/employees of the Military-Industrial Complex?

betcha we could find a few "conflicts of interest" there, if we tried for about half a millisecond

[liberal N proud]

4. The only way Trump or any republican can win elections is by preventing voter from voting

In other words, oppressing people. This one is oppressing women.

[tonyt53]

5. But what about the all of Appalachia? 97% white, vote 100% GOP and 75% on gov assistance.

Oh that nasty US Constitution and those words against a poll tax.

[Lochloosa]

7. All of "Appalachia" encompasses over 25 million people. Broad brush.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appalachia


Appalachia (/ˌæpəˈlætʃə/ or /ˈæpəˈleɪtʃə/) is a cultural region in the Eastern United States that stretches from the Southern Tier of New York to northern Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia.[1] While the Appalachian Mountains stretch from Belle Isle in Canada to Cheaha Mountain in Alabama, the cultural region of Appalachia typically refers only to the central and southern portions of the range. As of the 2010 census, the region was home to approximately 25 million people, containing the major cities of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Charleston, West Virginia; Knoxville, Tennessee; Chattanooga, Tennessee; Birmingham, Alabama; Huntsville, Alabama, and Asheville, North Carolina.[2]

Since its recognition as a distinctive region in the late 19th century, Appalachia has been a source of enduring myths and distortions regarding the isolation, temperament, and behavior of its inhabitants. Early 20th century writers often engaged in yellow journalism focused on sensationalistic aspects of the region's culture, such as moonshining and clan feuding, and often portrayed the region's inhabitants as uneducated and prone to impulsive acts of violence. Sociological studies in the 1960s and 1970s helped to re-examine and dispel these stereotypes.[3]

While endowed with abundant natural resources, Appalachia has long struggled and been associated with poverty. In the early 20th century, large-scale logging and coal mining firms brought wage-paying jobs and modern amenities to Appalachia, but by the 1960s the region had failed to capitalize on any long-term benefits[4] from these two industries. Beginning in the 1930s, the federal government sought to alleviate poverty in the Appalachian region with a series of New Deal initiatives, such as the construction of dams to provide cheap electricity and the implementation of better farming practices. On March 9, 1965, the Appalachian Regional Commission[5] was created to further alleviate poverty in the region, mainly by diversifying the region's economy and helping to provide better health care and educational opportunities to the region's inhabitants. By 1990, Appalachia had largely joined the economic mainstream, but still lagged behind the rest of the nation in most economic indicators.[3]

12. Appalachian here. Born and raised

by DEMOCRATS on both sides of my family. I don't have even one Republican in my family until I start counting second cousins. Can you say the same? How about putting away the fricking broad brushes applied to entire regions of our country?

6. Are State aand Federal Highways considered governmental services? Street lights?

Public Schools? Police and fire protection?

[pnwmom]

10. By his reasoning, TAXPAYERS have the same conflict of interest, in the reverse.

So apparently they shouldn't be allowed to vote, either.

He'd probably be fine with that.

[63splitwindow]

11. Always an interesting graphic to me...

[duncang]

13. So if dipshit donnie doesn't pay any taxes and recieved government money after 9/11

he shouldn't be allowed to vote? Along with all others who receive subsidies?

[sinkingfeeling]

14. Well, then I bet most of the 1% wouldn't be allowed to vote

because they don't pay taxes. So very fair of him to include people on Social Security who paid their taxes for decades and I continue to pay federal income tax on my SS income as well

[GeorgeGist]

15. or anyone who uses public roads or airports or ...

went to public school or took a tax deduction or called the police or etc.
