But when demographics changed and the uppity women, people of color, and gays had the numbers to demand equality and equity in the system then all bets were off. Being the ones in power to start with, it's been easy for them to sabotage the system with things like gerrymandering, voter disenfranchisement, and crazy rulings like money equals speech.

It's shameful that these mostly rich white men who have brought us to the brink of ecological collapse still think they deserve to be in charge and have convinced untold numbers of the same.
