I'd agree with what you say about the 19th amendment, but not so much about the extension of suffrage to all classes. The working class, in many ways, tends to be more conservative than the landed class. The biggest mistake of all, of course, was the 17th amendment (which I doubt you need convincing of). Every society needs a stable, independent "Council of Elders" of some sort, that exists apart from the rest.

The upper class may have a reputation for being liberal but believe me its not true( unless your a Kevin Curry type who would call them "moral liberals" they do tend to be pretty hedonistic). The people who run the media are liberal but they ain't representive of the upper class.
