In a perfect world, the presidency would be decided by Americans with all-American grandparents, and they would elect Donald Trump. At least, that seems to be conservative punditAnn Coulter's vision of a perfect world.

Coulter caught flack on Twitter by critics who called her racist and xenophobic. Or at least joking about it.

Some pointed out that Coulters tweet sounds similar to what Nazi Germany envisioned when the Nuremberg race laws were enacted in the Third Reich. In 1935, Nazisannounced the new laws stripping citizenship from Jews, or anyone with three or four Jewish grandparents, according to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum website. The law also banned Jews from marrying or having sexual relations from those identified as German.

Others noted that in such a case, even Trump wouldn't be allowed to vote. His mother is Scottish. Trump's children wouldn't be allowed to vote either as his ex-wife, Ivana, and his wife, Melania, are immigrants.

Last month, the hashtag #Repealthe19th started trending afterFiveThirtyEights editor-in-chief, Nate Silver, tweeted a map based on a poll showing Trump would win if only men voted in the 2016 election. The 19th, of course, referred to the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote.

The good news is Election Day is here, which means the election fatigue will soon end. In the meantime, indulge in some puppy therapy.
