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.

Rep. Massie voted to raise the debt ceiling under Biden in 2023 as part of the Fiscal Responsibility Act. As a member of the Rules committee, he knew a yes vote meant securing a 1% automatic spending cut if Congress failed to pass 12 appropriations bills by January 2025.
Rep. Massie voted for the bill in order to avoid the only other option, and inevitable worse outcome: a "clean" debt ceiling hike with zero reforms.
This was a lesser of two evils vote.
And him voting yes was the only way to assure it made it to the floor.
This move categorically and unequivocally aligns with his consistent, principled fiscal conservatism over the course of his career.
I see many large, influential accounts sensationalizing this, but I think too highly of you guys to not tell you the truth and let you get swept up in a lynch mob.
To be clear, I assume ignorance, not malice on their part. It’s not as simple as they were told & passions are high.
The gentlemen in the comments taking shots at me while contesting none of this, tells you everything you need to know. Fire away boys.
Will Howard thanked his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ after winning the Rose Bowl. He was then the only player on the team physically blocked from going on stage.
He aggravated someone’s demons.
Christian schools, Christmas parades, Christmas markets. Explosives were found this morning outside a Catholic Church in the French Quarter (they were safely detonated.) The spiritual war has escalated into a physical one and it will get worse.
OMG WE DID IT GUYS.
THERE WILL BE A ZERO TOLERANCE FOR GROOMING AND TRANSING KIDS, WITH SEVERE CONSEQUENCES FOR DOCTORS, HOSPITALS, BIG PHARMA, AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS, AS WELL AS RETROACTIVE JUSTICE.
Originally, Trump had been advised that this was a parental rights issue, which is also true— kids are being secretly groomed & in some cases, removed from their homes. His zero tolerance position now demonstrates he’s been advised Munchausen by proxy is also largely at play here
This is an executive order— Congress needs to write a bill to codify it. Let’s hope we win both houses, and this is brought to the forefront.
Wrong. I’m not “misleading” anybody by saying we’re not a democracy. We’re not. We are a constitutional federal republic of 50 states. What’s misleading, and frankly disingenuous by design, is calling America “our democracy”. Because of this repetition, along with the failed federal education system, voters assume the electoral college is a bug, not a feature, and they want to abolish it.
When Benjamin Franklin came out of the constitutional convention on September 17, 1787, he was asked by Elizabeth Willing Powel, “Well, Doctor, what have we have, a republic or a monarchy?”. Franklin responded, “A republic, if you can keep it”. He did not say “we are a democracy”. That would imply majority rule, which the founding fathers had an aversion to, so no we don’t have that. Benjamin Franklin misled nobody, just as I mislead nobody.
Let’s look at the electoral vote versus the popular vote. It doesn’t matter how many people vote for a certain party. The popular vote is meaningless here— but it’s Democratic. “One person one vote”, right? What matters is which state they live in, and how many electors each state has. 50% of the country lives in 5% of it, If we had a direct democracy, the fate of our entire country would fall to a handful of coastal cities.
The goal of the media and the government incessantly repeating “our democracy”, is to propagandize low ordered thinkers, and eventually wind up as a democracy without a Republic— like in the UK— parts of which we already divorced.
How’s that one party state working out in the UK? Do we like mass surveillance, warrantless searches, no free speech and gun bans? Would we like every state’s justice system to be captured like theirs? Thank God the electoral college and the 10th amendment are preventing us from collapsing into the ills of
🌈democracy🦄.
However, we’re well on our way to being just like that again with the invasion of our country. Why do you think they are flying criminal aliens into blue state strongholds the swing states? The census is how they determine electors. The goal of circumventing the electoral college by jamming it full of people brought here for the bloated government, and entitlements, who do not share our values, is to wind up with a one-party state. This is what Benjamin Franklin meant by “We are Republic *if we can keep it*”. There are bad actors and a multibillion dollar human trafficking machine hell-bent on seeing that we don’t.
And just because your country votes, it does not mean you are a democracy. That is not a trump card. North Korea has mandatory voting and a 100% turnout rate. Would you call them a democracy?
The U.S. Constitution mentions:
Democracy: 0 times
Republican form of government: 1 time.
In a Constitutional federal republic, we vote for our representatives. In a democracy, they vote direct.
With this model, our Constitution holds the highest authority, not the everchanging popular opinion of the day.
Your followers missed the part about civility.
If Trump & Kamala have the same “masters” then why are people only trying to kiII him? why is she not facing 800yrs in prison & lawfare? why is her MSM coverage 95%+ & his 92%-? why didn’t he start any wars? Why do Warhawks hate him?
Let’s talk about his term: Why didn’t Trump force the vax on us during Covid? Why did he turn to the 10th amendment instead of executive orders during Covid? Why did he broker peace deals in the Middle East? Why did he make the Supreme Court originalist? Why did my taxes go down?
Why is he favoring crypto? Why is he bringing Tulsi on to advise foreign policy? Why’s she now on a watch list? He wants Vivek on to advise gutting alphabet agencies, RFK to neuter big pharma & big agriculture, & Elon to cut government. Is small government what the masters want?
