Well, they would repeal it. If they made another amendment saying that the voting age was 21, that would mean there are two conflicting amendments. So the only way to get the voting age back to 21 would be to repeal the 26th amendment (or amend it) to get rid of the 18 year old voting age.

Either way, it's not happening. I'm sure Vietnam vets aren't on board with this as they're the reason the voting age was lowered.

If you are confused why the GQP oppose this (among many other apparently hypocritical views) let me make their goals very simple for you:

  1. The in-group should be protected by the law but not bound by it.

  2. The out-groups should be bound by the law but not protected by it.

  3. Any law that increases in-group power and happiness or decreases out-group power and happiness is morally just and necessary for society to survive.

  4. Any law that decreases ingroup power and happiness or increases out-group power and happiness is morally evil and will lead to societies downfall.

Thats literally it. Every time you see a supposed GQP hypocrisy just check those 4 points again and you will see there is no hypocrisy, just a widespread public misunderstanding of their goals.
