enough that slavery, racism, sex/gender inequality, the inherent exploitation of a capitalist system, and many other terrible things were enshrined into our constitution from the start.
as for their cohorts whose noble and enlightened ideas fell to the wayside? well, when they could stand up to a king but wither at the idea of standing up to their peers - especially in the name of profitability - there could hardly be argued to have been any honor in it. This just sounds like the “it’s a few bad apples” bs we hear whenever there’s some news story about police bruality/corruption.
Uh… I’m not following you. Reading what I’ve said, how could you connect me with their philosophy? How could you say that the simple act of protest equals MAGA philosophy?
Look, I don’t really think you believe that. And I’m not trying to shut anyone down. What I’m trying to say is that the founding fathers were a lot more flawed than most people realize, and we should stop worshipping them. It’s time we moved on and started forging a new republic founded on modern concepts of equality and equity rather than the compromised, elitist, and extremely bigoted attitudes of 300 years ago.
