Universal suffrage was a mistake. When you give everyone a voice, especially those that do not earn it or deserve it, they will sell you out.

I disagree. If the majority of the population is stupid THEN the country has to be governed accordingly , STUPID. and the WHOLE country must suffer the consequences .
Democracy is the best system. Not because it creates the best outcomes , BUT because it gives the people what they ask for. IF STUPID THEY WANT , STUPID THEY SHOULD GET.

You do realize it's called "tyranny of the masses" for a reason, yes? I don't want to live in that type of society. I like that the US used to be a place where you needed to work and earn property before you were given control over the workings of the nation. That type of system needs to be brought back in such a way that it's not something easy to do so that the moronic majority that will never have good intentions at heart can't screw over everyone else.

You would never have the chance to acquire any in that system. It's no wonder all the feudal systems collapsed . Unfortunately not enough of those filthy monarchs were guillotined .
