Welcome beautful toddler, Madison Elizabeth, to the horde!
Good idea in theory.
But imagine the Republican questions.
1. Are you white?
After that the system locks you out.
We don't want your trash. Now, an international effort to stuff all the deplorables into a huge rocket and launch it directly into the sun? That's something I think the world can get behind.
So, a class on filling out a ballot? They do that at the polling station if you have questions.
The GOP already does this with voter suppression efforts. The test is, how white are you?

Yeah much better plan. Could probably convince them they have a VIP ticket to the first colony on Mars.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Do people get savage pleasure out of the fact that someone related to a person who got deported voted for Donald Trump?
I'm not sure it's a good idea in theory. The assumption that intelligence leads to virtue is a large leap, to name one of the many issues.

A class would just lock out people who can't afford time out of their day to take it, it's voter suppression. The GOP would actually love that since minorities are the ones that would be hurt the most.
Well Done
With Ketchup.
In actual practice it's a whiteness test.

Why not? I mean, I feel bad for everyone who is going to suffer under orange 45's terrible reign, but these idiots literally did it to themselves. He could not have been any more clear about how much he hates everyone who isn't a white male.
I'd like a similar kinda deal but instead of proving you are smart enough to vote, I'd like a simple graph that explains what the ramifications are for what you're voting. Not in the large scale, like 24 million will lose their shit. Yeah, that's bad, but these simpletons need it dumbed down and brought to the individual level, like you are thinking about voting for a guy who wants to build a wall. Here's the math- it's impossible to do. Would you still like to vote for this person? Are you 100% sure? Let these people know how it will affect them personally if they vote for whatever it is. Shouldn't be difficult. Doubt everyone will read it, but maybe some people will. Or I'm just giving idiots too much credit.
I wouldn't call it savage pleasure. If I tell my little nephew he's gonna hit his head and cry if he has a paper bag over his head and spins in circles, and he still does it? Nah, it's not exactly savage pleasure.

How can people not know this?
As someone that has crossed that specific border crossing many times. How does that accidentally happen?
You have to cross The Rainbow Bridge over water, to cross the US/Canadian border at Niagara Falls. The bridge has US and Canadian flags on it. Even if they crossed the border in Buffalo NY on their way to Niagara Falls, they'd still have to cross the Peace Bridge.
....Did they just not realize Canada was on the other side of the bridge?

So Trump voters basically voters to screw over others thinking that somehow everything will magically get better for them?

Actually he did say people who overstayed their vias or had their day in court and were asked to leave would also be subject to deportation.
In a perfect world, in context, it would be about the issues you're voting on.
But it would only lead to abuse, and there are other avenues to pursue to get the same results like cracking down on campaign lies and sponsorship that would have the same desired results.
You're right, it's not the best idea.
That's the GOP platform in a nutshell. Complete cognitive dissonance.
We all do better when we all do better.
I don't see it as pleasure, more a general notice that they did this to themselves.

These people don't deserve sympathy until they develop some themselves. She was fine with people getting deported until it affected her.

Nominee Trump: "I vehemently hate illegal immigrants and will build a wall to keep them out, while destroying sanctuary cities and massively increasing the number of ICE agents..."
Person whose spouse is an illegal immigrant: "Oh boy, Donald J. Trump sound like the right person to make america great again. I'm definitely voting for him."
Sorry, but my sympathy only goes so far.
"I voted for my husband to be deported!"
GAF: "Get fucked, you voted for this."
Why is this so easy?

Yeah, you played this exact song and dance in the other thread too and it was just as asininely misguided then as it is now
I'm not sure it's "savage pleasure," but there is no doubt some satisfaction in seeing someone who makes a bad decision directly face the consequences. Just like those videos where some douche driver does something stupid and immediately gets pulled over, or a bully immediately regrets his bullying when some bigger kid comes to stand up for the other kid.
So...yeah, voting for Donald Trump because you "like his immigration plans," only to have your husband deported not even 3 months into his Presidency, is a rather satisfying example of accountability catching up with someone.

I feel pretty bad for his kids. Their mom was dumb enough to vote for the guy who is gonna deport their dad. That's gonna be an awkward Thanksgiving.

No sympathy. She has none for the rest of us immigrants so why should I feel bad? I'm terrified myself of being deported and this dumbass with an illegal immigrant husband votes for the dude who says he's gonna kick out all the immigrants.

If she's a citizen and married him, doesn't that give him a path to citizenship?

I did more to keep her husband here than she did
These stories are fun, but a distraction.
