sorry, but this is literally the ideology of competitive authoritarianism

there's a legacy of racism angle here, but for now i'll just share my blog post on how public opinion scholars have thought about the "quality" of a person's attitudes from the last time prominent conservatives proposed restrictions for restriction's sake gelliottmorris.substack.com/p/democracy-is…
if you want to select for "quality" inputs into a republican, representative government like the US, you can do the filtering either at the voting stage or the representation stage. the first option can get you really close to a lot of nasty anti-democratic stuff
