But by that logic, there's a terrifying number of adults who also shouldn't vote.
How so? An adult has a fully-functioning brain, unlike a 16-year-old.
Anyone above 65 for example.
Even dementia patients still have right to vote.
And we keep that in check how? I ask because I've never seen it done successfully and sustainably - even well intentioned autocracies lead to terrible outcomes in pretty short order.
Voting age should be 25, since that's the age when your brain becomes fully mature.
I'll remind you that the GOP not only exists, but is the party of choice for a little under half of voters - MTG, DeSantis, Trump, Boebert...
