    I feel the same way.

    In Germany voting rights can be restricted only in very serious cases like high treason (like inciting a mob to storm and overthrow a lawfully elected government). And it doesnt happen automatically or permanently. It needs a separate judgment for up to 5 years.

    In the US you just have to find a way to criminalise your opposition and throw them all into prison. Other autocratic countries already do this en mass.
