      Until you realize that not having a passport is about to mean you can’t vote.

      The trick is making you think they care about people not paying child support. They’ve had decades to put other consequences in place. Why didn’t they?

        Most of the MAGA base don’t have passports because they are isolationists filled with fear and can’t imagine the terror of going on a trip somewhere that requires a passport. A passport being required to vote would disproportionately affect Republicans. Possibly by orders of magnitude.

        Don’t take my word for it the data is there - WV and MS have less than 25% people holding passports.
