The crowd standing behind Muhammad Hussein was entirely comprised of the groups the Founders warned against giving the vote to, and who couldn't vote for the first 150 years of this Republic.

That would be women, the landless, and those under 21.

Apparently they knew back in freaking 1787 that if you let these people vote you wouldn't have a viable Republic for very long.

Its been about 90 years since the Constitution started to be amended to give these groups the vote.

The Republic will fall.

Soon

Not suprising, but then again, the ones whom he turned off will be the ones with the real power in their hands, the military and the bitter clingers who cling to their guns, faith, ete.,.

You want to take away the right of woman and African-Americans and poor people to vote? You’re no conservative I would want to associate myself with...

The reasons of the Founders for voting limitations were good ones. “Progress” is not always such a good thing.
