The Founders, not a single person, originally decided that land-owners should be allowed to vote.
They also decided that state legislatures should appoint Senators.
Go back to these two things and we solve quite a few issues.

if you’re on welfare then you can’t vote. When you let lifelong “takers” have a vote, they’re just going to keep voting for whoever promises them the most free shite.
I've been saying this for a long time.
If you are on government assistance you have a conflict of interest and should be involuntarily recused from voting until the conflict no longer exists.

Now I understand why dictators don’t allow voting. It’s not because they are power hungry. It’s because they realize a vast portion of their society are too fricking stupid to be allowed to vote.
I hate to tell you, but you don’t understand much. Dictators don’t allow voting exactly because they are power hungry. And yes, many people are too stupid to vote responsibly.

Please outline the “easy” route to ratifying such an Amendment to the Constitution.
the fix is easy to define -but NOW it is merely difficult to implement.
When a problem has an easy solution, then it merely takes courage to make it happen.
There can be no doubt that the party that promises the 'most free stuff' is going to get the most votes - so the problem is easy to identify.
NOW - perhaps, the founders should have put such a prohibition into the constitution. But one thing is certain - they did not advocate for subsidizing a welfare state where a plurality of beggars could determine our destiny. That is precisely what he have now.
Remember that the founders thought that our nation would always comprise only a moral and religious people.
So the constitution they gave us is unfit for the people we have now - we may well deserve the dictatorial rulers we will soon inherit.

Dictators LOVE to have the people vote - they RELISH reporting those 99-1 % victories.
As long as they get to count the votes - it doesn't really matter how many elections they have -

My phrasing was poor.
The problem and solution are easy to identify. Actually implementing the solution though would be practically impossible with the current political divide and needing 3/4 of states to ratify such an amendment.

Shouldn't be able to vote unless you pay taxes.

2 days ago you all lost your minds over being called 'semi-fascist' incorrectly - turns out you were mad about the 'semi' portion being incorrect.

They are NEVER necessary and should ALWAYS be fought against. Any person who thinks dictatorships are anything but evil are just plain ignorant.

We are being run by an oligarchy of technocrats hell-bent on breaking up functional institutions and turning the US into a banana republic.
At this rate, we might as well take our chances with a dictator. As long as it's not some self-loathing Karen or Coastal elite, we'd probably be better off.

It’s not that they’re emotional, it’s that they don’t live the same experience as men. Men work their arse off to woo women who really don’t have to and basically just have to look good and carry babies, and not all men succeed at that. Women don’t have to rely on men like they used to for their survival
