We have certain unalienable rights are more or less recognized, guaranteed and protected by the government and the citizens of our constitutional republic aka The United States of America. Your side for whatever reason seems to want to scrap that system and establish a permanent Democratic system which favors the Democratic party and it's population/recipients.

You have no right to drive a car. Where did that come from?  On the other hand, we certainly do have rights -- many are enumerated in the Constitution. Nooe have any merit if the right to vote ceases to be a right, and becomes some sort of fungible value in the culture wars.  If the right to vote impacts your party or POV, then you can fight to make your point in the marketplace of ideas, change your mind or just be grumpy.  Degrading the right to vote should never be an option.

I know you guys think you're special aka God's gifts and all, but in reality you are noting more than a bunch of dumb/foolish Nazi-ish - Bolshevik-ish - Marxist-ish supporters/believers to me at this point. So, what hold does the Democratic party have over you these days? Is it fear of losing your social security or fear of loosing healthcare or the fear of loosing a paycheck or the fear of all of us and all the rights that we still have as a large group of individuals? In short, when the Democrats and their Left Wing backers find themselves at odds or war with Americans of all kinds, you may be asking yourself and others why like some how or another you feel that you don't deserve.

You can believe whatever you chose.  You can't enforce that belief on others who disagree any more than I can enforce my beliefs on you.  If you win elections, you can govern -- well or badly.  If you lose, you can oppose but not impede the governance granted to your opponents.  That's the system.  If you find that is in some way reminiscent of Nazis and Bolsheviks, you need to do a little studying -- maybe a lot!
