That said, let’s not let facts get in the way:

I mean, I can vote in the US despite having lived here permanently since I was a teenager. If I ever have a child, they too will be able to vote in US elections… even if they never, ever, live in the US.

But hey, those are just some of the “norms” of democracies around the world. We shouldn’t give into WEF crazies by ever, ever questioning any of these norms, ever.

Well you can vote in the US because you're a US citizen. So...exactly what we're saying here.
