Yes, I'm not sure how universal suffrage came to be considered a core component of American democracy, since the founding fathers didn't see it that way.
I personally believe we should have something like the service requirement in Starship Troopers to vote. At a minimum, those receiving public assistance shouldn't be allowed to vote, as they're basically deciding how to spend other people's money.
Same way that arbitrary immigration became an American value when the history is extreme caution, and it was unpopular with the rabble most of the time regardless.
That is to say that 60s progressives were able to elect a new electorate and were eager to erase history as soon as it happened.
