I'm not sure what to call Matt Walsh, but he works for Ben Shapiro or something. Anyway, here he is saying that voting rights should only be reserved for elite people because the masses are too stupid to steer 'democracy' correctly.
This is not a new sentiment among the right wing, and is what I suspect most of them believe. Saying you support democracy is fine when you can win elections. However, conservatives can't win federal elections without suppressing the vote, because they know their ideas are not palatable to the average person. That ship sailed after Bush. Even when they cheat they generally lose, so they have to resort to more voter suppressing tactics to maintain power. This is why those of us with sense believe that democracy is in peril. If they attain power without fundamentally sabotaging democracy, they will never win another election. The last heist is always the biggest.
Don't worry, the Hillary / Sinema ticket will save us.
