Are you saying white male educated property owners can’t be gullible? Have you been to Marin county?

The founding fathers certainly did assume there were gullible voters even among the select few who could vote.

Protections such as the Constitution itself (that old archaic document!), the Senate, supermajorities, an independent legislative, executive and judicial, etc, etc.

I laugh when people say “Congress is deadlocked! It needs to be fixed!”. No, it’s working exactly as intended.
