Your elementary school social studies teacher failed you; the statement you referenced is written in the Declaration of Independence, not the US Constitution. The parent OP that I first replied to stated that "Owning money should allow you more representation than not owning money". This is a position not at all worth defending, and completely at odds with the concept of "all men are created equal".

"and yet now the constitution bans slavery"

Unless you're a prisoner convicted of a crime. Stating that the founders of the United States owned slaves is not "nihilistic nonsense", it's an important distinction to note that they sought political power for themselves, and no one else. The phrase "all men are created equal" should be interpreted as "all white land-owning men are created equal"

41 of the 56 men who signed the document containing that statement were slave owners.

Except when millions of Ukrainian refugees have been allowed in since 2022. You could say that they said "no" to mass brown people migration.

Requires an email address and credit card to even try this, so nope.

In the past, we'd call this a troll (blog) post.

It's not difficult for me at all; I can understand it quite well.
