Introduction
For Reactionaries, democracy is usually viewed with disdain or disgust. That being said, Democracy, with the right people in it, can transition into something more favorable for us. The American System of government was once more like an Italian Republic with a strict aristocracy and hierarchy ruling over the people. This would slowly change, starting with the election of Jackson, a conservative populist and war hero who won the election by giving the commoner the vote. Then, the African American was given the vote after the Civil War and birth right citizenship was enacted via the 14th amendment, which would eventually have dire consequences later on. Then, women were given the right to vote and eventually so were people who were 21 and older and finally all adults 18 and over. This lead to the rise of the uninformed, unqualified and disengaged voter. The final nail in the coffin was the large rise in illegal immigration and children of illegals born on american soil given the right to vote, without speaking the language, following the laws of naturalization or even being patriotic. So this begs the question, how can democracy, in its downward spiral from aristocratic republicanism with an elite gentry class ruling the nation to a shit show where anyone, even people who shouldn't vote or are too uninformed to vote vote in droves, mostly for the Democratic Party?
Here is the solution:
The answer is simple: If we win the culture war and have the right leader(s) and representatives in office, we can slowly move the country rightward. First, birthright citizenship would be amended to not apply to children of non citizens. Second, we would cut immigration substantially and cut illegal immigration across the border by 100% by building a wall to tall to climb, too deep to dig under and too guarded to get into the country, even if you manage to somehow break through the near impenetrable barrier. The good thing about a wall is that it is permanent, if we build a wall on the entire southern border, it will be impossible to get rid of. If an administration refuses to enforce the border, it won't matter as the illegals won't be able to cross anyway. Also, with birthright citizenship modified to require at least one citizen parent, there will be less incentive to cross as well.
When it comes to legal immigration, we should pass the RAISE Act but require the amount of immigrants per year to be 1/4 of the # of births divided by the number of deaths. It would amount to about 300,000 immigrants per year. In exchange, the government would create a program to raise the birth rate of native born families to at least 2.5 or above. This would be done by expanding welfare benefits such as child care or paying for health insurance for families with 2 or more children or a family with 1 child and a pregnant mother. For every child up to 4, there would be an increase in benefits. Now that we have the demographic problem taken care of, let us move onto the next issue: uninformed voters.
Uninformed voters are a real problem. It is an issue that is universal, from flyover country voters to poor minorities in the ghetto. If we wanted to solve this issue, which impacts the quality of both the left and right, here is my proposed solution. First of all, in order to vote, you would have to pass a civics test every 10 years. This would be used not only to filter out the uninformed but also to make sure that you are not going senile. The test would be a civics test and tutoring sessions and study materials would be given to everyone on taxpayer dime. It would include the 10 bill of rights, some general history of the US, how many Congressman and Senators there are, some other civics questions and an essay question which would be voted on by eligible voters before the election. If you score at least a passing grade, you would be eligible to vote. It wouldn't be partisan or designed to "suppress minority turnout and allow only evil racist white men to vote" as it would be meritocratic in nature, allowing anyone to vote if they can prove knowledgeable.
Conclusion
Finally, once illegal aliens, mass immigration and uninformed votes are taken care of, we would start with the complete restructure of the US government.The bill of rights would be kept and this time, made so that they could never be abridged, modified, nullified or violated however the government itself would be a mix of Venice, the Kingdom of England in the early modern period and the current US Government. How it will actually function will be in another article, so just you wait!
