Thank you for that. But keep in mind George Washington said that a time when only male property owners were permitted to vote in federal elections.

I now see the wisdom of that logic.

The dangers Washington warned of are intrinsic to human nature. I'm skeptical of any assertion that something has changed in the last 200 years that renders those observations no longer operative.

I find the idea that human nature can be changed by political forces to be not only wrong, but downright dangerous.
