Unfortunately, the current problems would still largely be problems. With decades of incremental attacks on education, the general intelligence of the masses has been suppressed. Now the unintelligent have been weponized by the malicious oligarchy, in an effort to catapult themselves to deification.
Everyone should be voting, but we also need to ensure that everyone gets as much education as possible. A smarter populace benefits us all, through better choices and understanding. We need to reverse the damage done to education, and also work to increase empathy and reduce selfishness.
The greatest feats humans have accomplished have been thanks to working together toward a single goal. We need to help everyone understand this, and that the “I got mine” attitude is extremely harmful to all of us. Lifting up your neighbor is to lift up yourself.

I agree
America is stupid by design. Educated people are dangerous because they’re more able to see when they’re being manipulated
It’s polarised though: There are some amazing minds in the US, and some very, very dumb. The dumb are useful to the powerful
The most brilliant thing that those in power (the real power) have done is to convince the people in the middle that it’s not worth bothering.
America is built on hate, but the reason it has continued for a couple of hundred years isn’t the hate, it’s the apathy and resignation
