In the US, yes. It's pretty contentious and hasn't been used much.

Unsurprisingly a large number of them occured under Trump's administration.

Source for anyone interested. I was initially confused since New York got rid of the death penalty decades ago, but it's from a new federal charge I hadn't seen yet.
As far as I can find they haven't officially said they're pursuing the death penalty for this charge just that this charge is eligible for it. I see no other reason for it though.

That wasn't clear from their comment. The link for Idiocracy didn't help that since that movie focuses on eugenics.
For education, sure, but while the data shows more educated voters voted for Harris, it isn't nearly as big of a gap as it should be. Slightly over 2/5ths of college educated voters voted for Trump, likewise slightly over 2/5ths of uneducated voters voted for Harris. The media likes to hype that divide along with all the others, but that's a shit ton of people on both sides.

This is eugenics propaganda. It is slightly hidden in a way of not using the blatant language of "superiority" and forcing it on people, but the base idea boils down to breeding traits such as higher intelligence into (or out of in this case) people like what is done (was attempted) with animals. This is eugenics. Please do not spread eugenics.
Eugenics does not work. There's a lot of information on the topic, but here's a 10-minute primer: https://youtu.be/kMBriCmiTu0
TL;DW Studies show genetics plays a very minor role in intelligence in humans with socioeconomic factors being the main driver. Eugenics may be able to breed certain traits in/out, but that results in the extreme detriment of others. Consider dog breeding and all the health issues breeds have who were bred for a handful of specific tasks/traits.
Keep rocking Drag! Sorry about the haters, but Drag seems great from the few comments I've run into across Lemmy
Turns out Gore did win, but the election was handed to Bush anyway. We could've been in a much different world.
A relatively long video on the topic (half hour) but a good one. https://youtu.be/jucDFrO89Ko
It took me a little over a year of playing, ~1100 East games, ~400 South games, and several failed yakuman waits, but I finally got one!
Link to the game below if anyone is curious. I Yakuman in East 2 and end the game, so it's short.
