You can have freedoms without suffrage. I'd much rather live in a society which protects my rights but disallows me from voting than the opposite. But I'm not the problem. You ask people like me to make rules to live by and you get freedom and prosperity. Which is how the USA got to be great. Then my ancestors decided we all had it too easy so we should give women and nonwhites the vote. Those groups could give a shit about freedom or America for that matter, and that's how you get here.
