Should we be critical of the Founding Fathers for not being more explicit?

Yes I used the non- PC ‘Fathers’ in my title.

Their only failing seems to be not being able to foresee how dumbed down their country would become in future years.

What is ‘advise and consent’ supposed to mean?

When is the last time you heard the term ‘Founding Fathers’ used before this thread?

How could they. I blame the misuse of technology, and I don't see how they could have predicted what the media and social media is today.

As of their time the world generally had been improving through history.

They had no way of foreseeing the utter stupidity of the left.

At this rate who knows how fricking stupid people will be in 200 years when they have that much time to have everything done for them by their phones?

They definitely weren't perfect but no one is and they did a pretty damn good job all things considering.

I just wish they could have foreseen that the federal government was going to consume power over time and ultimately destroy any semblance of state sovereignty.
