A look at liberalism and voting by the yoots. If you think about it, just a little, people under 25 are morons, and they tend to vote for the liberal morons that refused to grow up. If the voting law was changed to be the same as the drinking age, there might be some semblance of hope for America.

For Mature Audiences Only

Almost four decades ago, the 26th Amendment lowered the US voting age to 18.  At the time, most neurologists believed that the human brain was fully developed by about age 12, so allowing Americans to vote at 18 seemed like a safe move.

But parents of teenagers knew that was nonsense, and new research is confirming those parental observations.  Since the voting age was lowered in 1971, scientific advancements such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allowed researchers to get detailed three-dimensional images of developing brains.

Although human brains typically reach their adult size by age 12, they are far from being mature.  MRI analysis now shows that the planning and decision-making part of the brain — the dorsal-lateral prefrontal cortex — typically isn’t fully developed until we are about 25 years old.  Car rental companies already guessed that was the case simply by studying accident statistics: Most don’t rent cars to anyone under 25.
