I wonder if the Founding Fathers knew what the hell they were doing when they decided to give EVERYONE the right to vote no matter how retarded they are.

They didn’t. The 19th amendment did.

They didn’t

It was only white Male LANDOWNERS originally.
Race aside, the got the rest correct. Wymyn voting has overall been a disaster, because due to their inherent nature, they vote by emotions and not logic.

The founding fathers did NOT give everyone the right to vote. At the time only men (and in many areas only property owners) could vote.

Congress over the years has changed the rules first woman and then 18 year old (and don’t forget when they changed the way Senator were selected).

Now there is talk of allowing non-citizens to vote (not that they have not been doing so already, just making it legal.)

They didn't.

Repeal 19.

If I remember correctly, the FF's wanted a system whereby only those that owned property would be allowed to vote, because they were the ones impacted. That is how it should be today.
