>Edit: E.g. see the left opposing voter ids in the US.

FYI, the left wasn't opposing voter IDs. The left was opposing Voter ID laws, which required a voter to have an ID, while selectively providing these IDs to the population.

That's a uniquely American problem. We wouldn't have an issue with a Voter ID law if everyone was guaranteed to have a state ID, regardless of where they live, whether they have a car or not, and whether they have money to pay for it (it should be free).

Personal ID arent for free in Germany (though not expensive, ca. 30 EUR), they are mandatory to wear and you have to show if you want to elect.

No IDs in an election are a culture war issue in US and lefties argue irrationally on the topic. Btw, I am not a Trump supporter.

Do you live in the US?

If not, looks like you're missing the important context that the Republican party makes access to facilities that issue IDs limited.

For most Americans, the primary ID is the driver's license.

And for those that don't drive, it's... non-driver license, also issued by department of motor vehicles.

Which is often not accessible by public transportation.

And whose locations strategically avoid black and poor small towns.

So no, it's not a "culture war", and the arguments are rational once you learn the context of the issue at hand.
