The good news is that our voter suppression measures are working! With the help of some of the courts, we’re keeping the minority votes down a little bit. It has made a difference in a few close races.
The bad news is that it didn’t make enough of a difference to win in 2018. We need something much bigger than that for 2020. What should it be?
The answer comes, as it frequently does, from our brothers in Wisconsin, who have recognized that the problem is blue voters who live in cities. They’re not real Americans, after all. Jefferson said so, and so did Sarah Palin. How could both of them be wrong?
So here’s an idea: let’s limit the franchise to people who own single-family detached homes. They’re real Americans, because they’re truly invested in their suburban and rural communities. They vote Republican, too. They’re our kind of people.

The one thing we need to avoid is literacy tests. As our beloved leader, President Trump, once said, we love the poorly-educated. They remind us of ourselves.
