A recent Twitter post by Donald Trump Jr. was met with a resounding round of support- from the left.
It all began when the oldest son of former President Donald Trump retweeted a tweet from Republican Author Ryan James Girdusky, claiming hypocrisy from the left for saying you should need proof of vaccination to go out in public, but you shouldn't need ID to vote.
The left: you should have to carry a vaccine card to go anywhere in public\n\nAlso the left: you shouldn\u2019t have to have an ID to vote— Ryan James Girdusky (@Ryan James Girdusky) 1627675420
When the former President's first-born retweeted Girdusky's tweet, he suggested something of a combination of the two, that everyone should be required to show proof of vaccination in order to vote.
Someone should introduce a bill mandating that you have to show your vaccination card to vote and watch everyone on the Left\u2019s brain malfunction and explode.https://twitter.com/RyanGirdusky/status/1421199835768758279\u00a0\u2026— Donald Trump Jr. (@Donald Trump Jr.) 1627678709
The younger Trump predicted that the brains of the Democrats would "malfunction and explode" at this concept.
He wasn't exactly wrong, as there was indeed an explosion on his Twitter feed, only it was an explosion of support from his left-wing adversaries, expressing their approval of the concept.
The irony of antivaxers saying "they don't want to be part of an experiment" is they don't realize they are now the control group.— Bert Gilfoyle (@Bert Gilfoyle) 1627678772
The right wouldn't be happy about that one because larger numbers of them refused the vaccine. \n\nDo you think things through?— Frank Wears A Mask (@Frank Wears A Mask) 1627678819
Explode with joy you mean? Not only will your people not be able to vote but lots more of them are dying now.— That Vaccinated Karen (@That Vaccinated Karen) 1627751239
Actually, that would work for the left Junior. That would work just fine.— \u303d\ufe0f\u2665\ufe0fMommy Q\u2665\ufe0f\u303d\ufe0f (@\u303d\ufe0f\u2665\ufe0fMommy Q\u2665\ufe0f\u303d\ufe0f) 1627678865
Ok..sounds good. Now let's see who gets to vote! Do you ever check yourself?— Jan202021 (@Jan202021) 1627750821
Yeah, wouldn't bother me at all. I don't think he's making the point he thinks he is.— Bluejay \ud83d\udc1d\ud83d\udc99\ud83d\udc9b\ud83d\ude82 \u2708\ud83d\ude97\ud83d\udd96\ud83e\udd13 (@Bluejay \ud83d\udc1d\ud83d\udc99\ud83d\udc9b\ud83d\ude82 \u2708\ud83d\ude97\ud83d\udd96\ud83e\udd13) 1627753991
LOL! Ok Genius! Great idea Jr. \n\nDemocrats would win every single seat in the house and senate then. :)))\n\nRemember your supporters are the ones who are not vaccinated :))— Human (@Human) 1627678871
The Tweet comes while much of the country has seen considerable spikes in new cases of Covid-19, owing to the highly contagious delta variant, with the majority of new cases being unvaccinated individuals.
The states that have shown the most significant increase in new cases are predominantly red states, with Florida, Missouri and Texas responsible for 40% of new covid cases in the united states.
A recent poll by CBS News has shown that 71% of Democrats have already have or intend to have the Covid-19 vaccine, considerably higher than the 47% of Republicans who either have or will.
Trump Jr. made an attempt at damage control, mocking everyone who supported his earlier idea for now apparently showing support for voter suppression.
Libs with a hilarious self-own trending #VaxToVote.\n\nAfter years of crying about voter ID as a supposedly "racist" restriction on voting rights, the left is now un-ironically calling for vax cards to be required to vote...You know, an ACTUAL restriction on voting rights.\n\nhttps://twitter.com/ReallyAmerican1/status/1421551022712004609\u00a0\u2026— Donald Trump Jr. (@Donald Trump Jr.) 1627767203
He replied to his own tweet saying:
"I make a joke about an obviously crazy idea to highlight the hypocrisy of the left, but these authoritarian libs are so unhinged and braindead, that they of course think #VaxToVote is a good idea. You can't make this s**t up!
Though, once again, it was the left who were eager to respond to his tweet, be it to continue to show support in what they believe was a good idea, or just to make fun of the former First Child.

I don\u2019t think you fully thought this one through.— Tweeter Reprise \ud83c\udde8\ud83c\udde6\ud83c\udf7a\ud83c\udfd2 \u2b55\ufe0f (@Tweeter Reprise \ud83c\udde8\ud83c\udde6\ud83c\udf7a\ud83c\udfd2 \u2b55\ufe0f) 1627767283
Anyone can get a vax card! Right, jr. ?— Gary R. \ud83c\udccf (@Gary R. \ud83c\udccf) 1627767305
This was actually your idea Jr.— Esavage10124 (@Esavage10124) 1627767459

Hey man, you had a good idea for once. Don\u2019t blame us for jumping on this and running with it and no worries, we\u2019ll be sure to give you the credit.— Ricki Bevil (@Ricki Bevil) 1627767523
Did you forget it was your suggestion? You\u2019re loosing it Jr .pic.twitter.com/i2ZVSgYkBE— Youngatheart (@Youngatheart) 1627767556
You got it Junior, the vaccinated are starting to get angry over the anti vaxxers, I don't count you because I am sure you received the shot like daddy.— Yankee Doodle Dandy (@Yankee Doodle Dandy) 1627767539
Two astute followers on both threads pointed out the key difference in requiring proof of vaccination as opposed to a photo ID.
This entire Twitter thread is progressives agreeing with you.\n\nFYI - the Voter ID Laws are adjacent to a \u201cPoll Tax\u201d. Vaccines are free but a state ID is not free. Charging $25-$50 for people to vote is how you discourage poor communities from voting.— Walter Masterson (@Walter Masterson) 1627767414
Awesome. I'd be able to vote, while my MAGA anti-vaxxer neighbors won't. My selections for local, state, and national leadership will win.\n\nMeanwhile, since the vaccination cards are free, they are far easier to get and allow the disenfranchised to vote too.\n\n#VaxToVote— The Fish in a Barrel (@The Fish in a Barrel) 1627767843
Receiving a Covid-19 vaccination is completely free and available to anyone, whereas asking someone to show proof of identification as opposed to a voter registration card has widely been viewed as racist and discriminatory of poor communities.
While Don Jr.'s father remains banned from Twitter, it's not hard to imagine the Democratic party now hopes the younger Trump remains active on Twitter, as he may only continue to help their cause.
