The inherent problem with your logic of deciding who gets to vote is that depending upon who is in power, those rules will inevitably change.
You will be quite satisfied with your limitations of voting rights right up until the moment when those limitations are redefined in a manner that works against you instead of for you.
Tinkering with something as fragile as this stuff usually leads to bad things.
My point is that no matter how bad things are, enacting changes similar to what you are suggesting could lead to far worse scenarios. Obviously, this is just my opinion.

I understand and agree there’s a *risk* of that happening. Practically speaking any changes would need to clear a high bar — e.g. a constitutional amendment. I also understand that I’m just flapping my gums here. Talking abstract philosophy. Ain’t NEVER gonna happen.

Maybe, but I’m a problem solver with a can-do attitude by nature and trade, so I’m reluctant to accept what is in evidence as a big problem for this country without at least thinking about ways to address it.
