I don’t know a single IRL American who would say this.

Some would have nasty things to say about the Manifesto, sure, but it’s not something they’d bring up, and not because it’s old. And trust me… The Bible or Adam Smith is the constitution as far as some are concerned. There is either no issue with old documents, or cynicism/worry over the ones we have.

Again. Lemmy at large, and the loudest parts of the internet, do not represent how Americans see stuff. The political influencers in particular are just in an alternate reality.
