Shouldn't he be former? I thought they axed him after he went to a white nationalist rally?
I think you should have to do an test to reproduce, or pass in high, something, before being able to have a kid. But its impossible to institute.
You (usually) already do, but it's a test of attractiveness, not intelligence :)
Yes, well, that is the problem. Obviously.
Wait...why cull their voter base?
They don't need voters any more.
I have a feeling they're going to define anyone who has a college degree and leans anywhere to the left of conservative extremism "low IQ trash".
Yep, the Nazis defined socialists as degenerates, so I expect any sign of empathy to be seen as a sign of low IQ.

Just a quick reminder that the US Supreme Court affirmed the federal government's right to sterilize citizens in Buck v. Bell and it's never been walked back.
So that's cool.

One fucking month ago we, for the first time in human history, cured a genetic disease in a human at the DNA level, using gene editing techniques that fixed a 10-month-old's liver specifically without altering the rest of his body's DNA (thus preserving genetic diversity). Are we really going to start fucking genociding people while we stand at the very goddamn cusp of cleanly subduing genetic disorders?? And we're going to fucking revive measles and polio while we're at it?

Hello to my Americans friends, and an outsider looking in, we have a very famous saying about the situation you're currently in. It roughly translates to, "holy fucking shit, you guys are totally fucked". Honestly I'm baffled by the seeming lack of tangible response from the general public, I understand 30 odd % voted for this and another 30 or so couldn't be bothered. But the rest of you should be shutting down everything, how are you just holding these weekend protests and hoping for change. Cripple the bloody country! The longer you wait the worse it gets.
Sincerly someone who knows what Dictatorships are.
I feel this way every time I wake up. I am a pretty avid history enthusiast. I know what the parallels are. I know the direct analogies to what’s happening here now.
It ultimately boils down to the fact that the vast majority of the country is unable to mount a general protest because we’re all wage slaves, and healthcare is tied to having a job here, so we’re all predominantly conditioned to be nice little worker lemmings for the most part. And then there’s the imbecilic “exceptionalist” streak that a lot of people have, which is more or less the societally-toxic idea that you’re just a temporarily inconvenienced billionaire who hasn’t come into their own yet.

Seems weird that they'd want to go after their voter base so publicly.
Their own voter base lacks the critical thinking or self reflection to understand every thing trump admin says they want is going to hurt the base more than then people they were rallied to hate.
Farmers and manufacturers having tariffs ruin their profits, immigrants being rounded up and deported regardless of their legal status, military veterans having their care gutted and govt jobs eliminated. And all these people say they still endorse him.

Yep, again just following Hitlers Playbook: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compulsory_sterilization#Germany
That was one of the first laws that the Nazis enacted...
Well. Yeah. Because he's a Nazi. Nazis have Nazi opinions. But his version of "low-iq trash" isn't people with "low-iq" it's people that impede the image of the in-group.
Otherwise the majority of conservatives would be sterilized.

“When a population gets feral, a little snip snip keeps things in control. Could offer incentives (Air Jordans, etc.).”
Holy shit. What a piece of shit.

American eugenicists tended to believe in the genetic superiority of Nordic, Germanic, and Anglo-Saxon peoples, supported strict immigration and anti-miscegenation laws, and supported the forcible sterilization of the poor, disabled and "immoral."[13]

So just standard Republican Nazi shit.

Sadly this was inevitable.
I think it was in the skeptics guide to the universe book, they covered the history of eugenics.
It has a significant history in the US, and loads of ne'er-do-wells were sterilised before eugenics was adopted as a policy by the german nazi party.

Wait a minute... deep in there he suggested incentivizing smart people to have babies. Like a handout? Susidized childcare, free healthcare for kids? He must be a socialist. Lol.

A better idea would be to sterilize people of low empathy.
Andy Warhol allegedly had an IQ around 80-90. But contributed a lot to society.
IQ as a measure of the value of people is bullshit, because it's an extremely narrow part of our combined intelligence that is measured.
For instance empathy is not part of an IQ test, but is a crucial feature for societies to work well. As societies with higher social intelligence function relatively better.
Something Trump is actively demonstrating right now. Remove empathy from how society works, and the losses are enormous.
Trump and his ilk do not understand that, because they don't have it.

So they're clearing out the current administration?
The fact that there are Nazis in the US government, and that that fact is met with an attitude of "Oh well!" instead of torches and pitchforks is what makes modern USA sickening.
