OT: American Politics

Because they’re saying you can get a DL without being a citizen.

This definitely seems like an attempt to make the electorate more likely to be rich and more likely to be male.
A forward-thinking country/state would then make sure that everyone who needs this kind of ID to vote, would have simple and free access to do so, and would not inhibit a single eligible voter from being able to register. But of course, they'll make sure that the departments that would provide these services will be under-staffed and under-funded.
 
The authoritarian mindset always places obedience above competence. They don’t want efficient and professional government services, because to the extent that they function well, they are not instruments of arbitrary power. Trump likes to rail against the “deep state.” What he is actually against is government workers following impersonal procedures that interfere with whatever desire he has at the moment.
