The title of that video is more than slightly misleading. I got more vibes regarding their intelligence levels from the way they answered the questions rather than the answers themselves. The guy asked a bunch of people about what they thought about individual parts of the tax plan under the guise that they were sponsored by Sanders instead of Trump. You can't quite blame them for falling for it, considering the fact that the tax bill is excruciatingly long and there are a lot of extra things both relevant and irrelevant that are in there along with the general tax plan. Any liberal who shoots down something Trump does just because it's Trump is a moron. (the same goes for conservatives -- Trump himself is guilty of the same "liberal/conservative cooties" behavior) There are some good things in that tax plan, like the small business cuts. But those things don't make the entire tax bill great, nor does it mean that a couple average liberals off the street "agree" with the entire tax plan because because they agree with a few good clauses that are in there. Back on topic, though, here's the fact: 90% of the populace is comprised of dumb sheep. They know one word and one word only: follow. But as scary is that is, restricting voting rights in any way is bad for democracy. You want to create civil unrest? Restrict voting rights based on whatever clause. Literacy. Political knowledge. What's more, these clauses leave a lot of gray area to be exploited. What's going to stop a conservative in California from being turned away from the polls? A liberal in Alabama? Both of them are legally competent and de jure voters but both got turned away because of some "political knowledge" clause. I mean, this has happened before. Blacks were denied voting privileges on so-called "literacy" tests. It's a slippery slope. And a really bad one to get started down.
