By design, the US was supposed to be an actual plutocracy where only wealthy white men were allowed to vote or run for office. The US was designed to be many times worse than it currently is so honestly we are doing Washington a huge kindness by pretending like he wasn't a a racist, sexist, elitist piece of shit that made it illegal for women, people of color, and the working poor (renters) to vote.
