I'm trying to figure out who'd be outraged at the thought of everyone casting a vote ... hm, the Republicans who are trying to suppress the vote, maybe?
Why should someone be required to vote? Where's the freedom in that? Perhaps, liberals can't get their types of people to voluntarily go through the process of registering to vote and then actually casting a ballot during election season. Therefore, making it mandatory is the only way for democrats to garner enough votes to win.
Freedom does not work with a society in moral decay. When morals go down the tubes, so goes your freedom because it must be extinguished to manage the chaos from the moral decay. Next step is a tyrannical gov't because your rights have already been stripped way.
What's that again about Republicans being pro-liberty? lol.

Lol - so true!
In right-wing land, you can own whatever weapon you want, but the government will tell you what religion to follow, what consenting adults you cannot marry, and I guess for whom to vote. It's certainly a unique view on what freedom actually is.
There is no question in my mind that his loyalists would love nothing more. Trump loyalists and Kim Jung Un loyalists are really not that different, other than their body weight and dietary choices.
Very nice and fair way to look at the majority of Americans.
the facts are that there have been proposals (from both parties, but mostly from the dems) to eliminate the 22nd amendment
The most recent such proposal is H.J. 15, introduced by Rep. Jose E. Serrano of New York:Rep. Serrano a Democrat, stated that the purpose of his proposal for repealing the 22nd amendment is specifically to “pave the way to make a president for life”
Rep. Serrano has introduced the very same proposal to Congress every two years since 1997:
(in 1997, 1999, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2001, 2013)
.
another Democrat, Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland, introduced a similar proposal six times in recent years, in 1995, 1997, 1999, 2001, 2003, and 2005
Rep. Barney Frank of Massachusetts (Democrat): 1995, 1997, and 1999
and a few others
not a single one of these proposals has ever been brought to a vote before Congress (they were all referred to committee and died there), much less passed and sent to the states for ratification.

It's because society nowadays is morally at rock bottom. It isn't a Republican or liberal issue. The two parties just simply jockey back and forth with what laws should be implemented to manage the aftermath. Therefore, we have no freedom.

Can we have free markets at least? I'd like to still be able to choose between Dove Soap, Irish Spring, or Yeshua Blood when in the Target bath aisle.
less than a quarter of americans voted for hitlery too
Just letting that other guy know that the majority did not support Trump. Its truly a sight to behold the fantasy worlds trumpers construct.
