Not a single founder believed that this nation could ever survive lazy absentee management of an ill-advised electorate which thought it only need show up and cast a vote once every four years, then return to daily life as if they had done their part...and all would be well.
Not too long ago, not a single conservative believed this crap either.
But in the rush to escape responsibility for the mess we have allowed, even conservatives look for government solutions to the many problems government has created.
How truly sad!
The Founders also didn’t envision the career politicians or “political dynasties” we have today. Or the men and women who use the position for their own gain and lifetime pensions, etc.
