Anyone who takes the time to educate themselves on the issues should get a vote. But if you don’t even want to be aware that there are 3 branches of government, and like what their names are then… the vote is worse than unhelpful, it becomes an echo of the people who are trying to bring the system down. Then nobody gets a vote, especially when votes themselves are done away with.
Once voting becomes conditional, it’s a precedent and then it will invite all kinds of people to adjust the conditions, to apply conditions selectively, etc.
A universal suffrage is much more defensible and harder to abuse.
Your concern is best addressed by making civics and power literacy mandatory, and sanely regulated gun ownership also mandatory. AR-15 is not an assault rifle. But people with a verifiable history of violent domestic abuse or violence toward animals at any age, no guns. Anyone caught in possession of a firearm while intoxicated, instant loss of the gun privilege. Armed robbery, larceny of firearms, no guns. Etc.
We should and will all have a vote.
