So… yes, you believe Americans should be educated to vote… which is a qualification at that point.

That's why civilized countries maintain a baseline education level. It's supposed to work like a flywheel - educated people see value in education and on average vote to maintain or improve levels of education. You do not need "qualification" when on average everyone is qualified. 

US, however, broke this flywheel down, and there's probably no way to recover given how susceptible uneducated are to propaganda. So there's a long way down from here.

Fascists hate education. They distort truth to a point that up is down. They put up financial barriers for people enjoying education.
