Subject line says it all:
If you deny American democracy, you have NO right to vote.
Why should a democracy extend voting rights to people who insist we are not a democracy?
WHY?
Voting is the cornerstone of our representative democracy, and in the last few years a growing number of denialist papers and books have emerged that claim we are not nor have we ever been a democracy, and since we exercise our democratic rights by voting in elections, for a denier to vote is the ultimate attack on democracy AND the ultimate hypocrisy COMBINED.
But why should the rest of the country be forced to accommodate such a ridiculous theory?
Let the deniers live without the right to vote, they should be happy. They should be overjoyed to be relieved of such a burden.
If you insist that the Earth is flat, getting on an airplane is the ultimate hypocrisy, therefore flat earthers should not be allowed to board any aircraft.
And democracy deniers must surrender their voting rights forever.
