Remember JD Vance said that childless individuals "should not have as much of a voice."

So the reasoning behind this is probably "childless individuals don't have to think about the future as much".

The natural extension of that reasoning is that older people should have their voting/political power diminished (since they won't be around as long)

I gotta say, a part of me sees the latter as being worth the former... I know it goes against many principles of government, etc. etc. but it certainly is tempting. Any armchair political scientists want to chime in?
