Dang it, lost my post....
You don't necessarily need to be severely mentally handicapped to be deceived.
My dad started without running water or electricity and today has wireless fiber optic Internet and a 3d printer. The world has changed a lot since he was a kid, and sometimes stuff just changes and it doesn't seem to make much sense.
My first computer struggled to draw a circle, but later my PC could fully emulate that computer while doing 20 other things, which is kinda insane when you think about it.
Plus governments and politicians make advertisements and announcements through Twitter all the time, and that loss of gravitas has consequences...
As a basic test of competence, maybe voting should be restricted to property owners. If you can't manage a piece of land you shouldn't have a way in the management of the nation...

What if you can't afford a piece of land? Should voting be restricted to the relatively rich?
