Trump isn’t an icon of positive masculinity. He also did very little for young men during his four years as president

I don't think Trump has the interest of literally any of his voters at heart. He's only interested in helping himself and he legally can't even vote for himself.
Edit: TIL Trump can still vote.
Florida (Trump's home state) Law:
a felony conviction in another state makes a person ineligible to vote in Florida only if the conviction would make the person ineligible to vote in the state where the person was convicted.
New York (State of felony convictions) Law:
a person convicted of a felony is disenfranchised only while incarcerated for that felony.

Should be noted that young male voters are some of the least reliable voters to turn out. Yes, he's gone hard on the Joe Rogan demographic with his pandering. Yes, its working (because... advertising works!) No, I don't think its going to be a winning strategy in the end, because them hoes ain't loyal.
Is it true he is no longer eligible to vote?
Unfortunately that was just wishful thinking. I had to confirm and according to Florida and New York state law, he will be about to vote unless he ends up being incarcerated in New York at the time.
To be fair I think felons and imprisoned folk should be allowed to vote.
Why not just kick them out of the country if you are going to disenfranchise them like that?
It's hard for imprisoned people to have a fair vote, unhindered by pressure from guards, administration, or gangs. You think for-profit prisons selling slave labor of their inmates is bad, just offer them the opportunity to sell their votes.
Well that would be an easy one to expose though wouldnt it? Theres no chance a prison could keep that hidden.
That's fair, although a bit extreme jumping straight to kicking them out of the country.
How about just politicians with felonies then?
Yeah that was meant to be some form of sarcasm I couldn't figure out how to word right.
I don't think citizens really should ever lose their right to vote. Its absurd to me.
I will say people who commit political crimes should be barred from politics though.
