The way I see it through numbers, America's “consent" is based on what the majority of American voters do.
I have a theory that when it came to voting for the first woman president -- Clinton and Harris -- they just could not trust a woman to be Commander-in-Chief of the largest military on Earth. A military whose highest ranks had frequent previous contact with them and knew them well. As for voters who didn't trust them, they just didn't do their homework.
