A long awaited thread on the consequences of the 19th amendment. This is a distinctly nuanced position. It is miles above the low information, level one thinkers. Enjoy.
The framing of the 19th predicates voting based on vagina & penis, instead of skin in the game, like property/business ownership, service, taxes (theft), children, etc.
The founders saw voting as a states’ right, which is why voting is not included in The Bill of Rights. It’s not a negative right. It’s not a natural right. It was not enshrined upon us by our God just by the sanctity of being human. It’s a political process.
Woodrow Wilson hated the idea of women voting and was famously protested over it by unhinged suffragettes. But then he discovered women were less resistant to social engineering and could therefore be easily exploited, he signed that amendment. Your hero, ladies.
Prohibition and women’s suffrage have always gone hand in hand, with the latter actually happening when 19A was ratified just 7 months after Prohibition went into effect.
And once the women of the temperance movement got their way, with the 1919 passage of the Volstead Act outlining implementation of the Prohibition amendment, a woman actually enforced it: the 32yo assistant U.S. Attorney General Mabel Walker Willebrandt.
Since the ratification of 19A, the scope and size of the government has increased on a larger scale than any other cause in History. The 19th amendment itself is an infringement on the 10th amendment (states rights)
America has plummeted into a communist hellscape, from the depression, to 14 recessions, to FDR forcing Americans to turn in their gold, to internment camps, to the abolishment of the gold standard, to 31T in debt, to endless entitlements & wars.
Had Hillary Clinton won in 2016, we would have 3 additional Sotomayors on the Supreme Court, the last establishment holding us together, thus ending its integrity. We would have absolute Covid tyranny and the abolition of states rights (SCOTUS enforced). America would be dead.
If states wanted women to vote, they could have done so under the 9th amendment. Wyoming— and I think Colorado did.
The founders saw one family, one vote, with the man of the house casting it, as men in general are more able to think logically about broad and abstract ideas and deduce suitable conclusions. Women, in general, think with their hearts.
Ironically, Dems HATE women. They let males are in our spaces & sports. And give them our awards along with the title of woman. But biological women are ungendered, unless the conversation has to do with abortion or the equal pay myth. They hold our identity hostage.
So when I make this argument, I mean it really screwed up America. It will never be repealed because EmPoWeRmEnT, all I’m saying is maybe we should hold off for a few years until we figure out how the hell we undue the damage and prevent further damage.
