The US founding fathers were less monstrous than most other rulers of the time. You have to give credit where credit is due. And yes, both Carter and Gore could have set the country on a fundamentally different course. That certainly wouldn't have solved every problem, but shit would be a lot less fucked than it is today.
I really hate when people are like “If it doesn’t solve for 100% it’s not worth it”… moving the needle slowly over time has its benefits. Hell it’s what the GOP has been doing by ratcheting us to the right. Imagine if it had gone the other way.
Lmao alright. The founding fathers wanted to break free from Britain so they didnt have to adhere to treaties with Native Americans. They were so much worse than so many other rulers at the time.
Lmao. I guess if you ignore the slavery part.
I didn't say they weren't monsters. But look at the other rulers in power back then.
They were specifally bad.
No no see, Washington was not pro Palestine and constantly "Trans Rights" so he was 1000% Hitler like every American President, duuuh.
I mean, to be fair, we have no idea what Washington's opinions on trans rights would have been. Louis XIV on the other hand...
