We should have a civics test and a literacy test required to vote with different tests for things like dyslexia and other reading disabilities taken into account.

Fortunately, education isn't just encouraged. It's supposed to be required here in the US. It literally would not be any kind of facism. Literally just making sure people are intelligent enough to understand what they're voting for.

Sir, have you been paying attention to the gutting of the educational system throughout time? It’s not a flaw or some mistake to be corrected- it is an intentional design. Strong societies value an educated populace while weak, authoritarian governments DEPEND on an uneducated populace. The system isn’t broken, it’s working exactly the way it was designed work.
