Should we ban all people with mental conditions from voting?

Up until this point I just thought op was a right-winger, which is perfectly fine and I can respect that, but this thread makes clear OrangeMan is some degree of national socialist.

I don't really care if you call yourself a patriot. I'm not saying you're not a patriot. But you're speaking in favor of eugenics, literacy tests, and restricted voting... you are a national socialist.

No. Mental conditions is such a vague term that it'd likely used by both sides to prevent people from voting.
The left would likely argue that: "Extreme conservatism" is a mental condition.
The right would likely argue that: "Homoloveuality and transloveuality" are mental conditions.
Neither of these impend one's ability to vote, so any form of prevention of voting over "mental conditions" would be vastly abused and mostly difficult for people to deal with.

honestly tho, are there any laws or anything against what mental state you have to be in to vote? i dont think ex-criminals that are very mentally unstable should be able to vote, i dont think people with downs syndrome should be able to vote. not because theyre not citizens of the us, but their opinion shouldn't be factored into the betterment of the country imo
