Terrible choice of founding fathers to use for that example. Benjamin Franklin was kinky as fuck.

He would be browsing xHamster going, “Seen it.. seen it… seen it… done that… done that, too… seen it… cliche…”

Our founding fathers fought back against their government. At the very least they would wonder why people aren't gathering in mobs outside the homes and offices of legislators demanding change.

"WHO TF GAVE THE (HARD R)S RIGHTS?"

Listen. Alexander Hamilton died in 1804 and the current year is 2025. If I died today and found out that in the year 2246 that the laws, mannerisms, dress, economics, attitudes, and technology had changed so little that I "recognised" it, I wouldn't be proud, I would be concerned. My mind would be going "what the fuck why hasn't anything changed". I would expect things to be different, if I noticed that nothing or little had changed technologically, socially, economically or politically, I would suspect there had been a collapse akin to the Bronze Age Collapse that society was only just recovering from.

My Grandmother was born in 1920. She was born two years after women got the vote, Modern Art was in it's heyday, Cinema was still silent, the quickest way you could sent a message to anyone was via Morse Code, and there were people around who were born in the 1830s. She used to have to take a fucking candle up to bed with her like in those Bugs Bunny Cartoons. She lived to see gay marriage in the UK, The Lord of the Rings Trillogy, Video calls, and the Moon Landing.

I expect to see commercial Fusion Power and a moon base by my 90s. If I was told that little changed between now and 2246, my first question would be a terrified "why"?

I feel like they'd recognize it better now since it's the current administration's prime directive to reverse all progress that's been made since the founding fathers were around.

Americans and their Founding Daddy issues.

"Damn, they're making new kinds of chicks" -- Ben Franklin when he sees trans porn

This exact joke made into a sketch:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20ghjoX2_GE

George Washington: "They kept on with political parties, didn't they? Told 'em."

Thomas Jefferson: "The Tree of Liberty hasn't been refreshed, I see."

What do you mean? The slaver owners, who genocided the local population to steal their land and didn't consider women or children people wouldn't be happy with Trump's America? Trump's America is their dream, and it won't change until you stop mythologizing genocidal slave owners.

I wouldn't recognize anything 100 years later either.

I think they would be horrified, but that's because of the maga. And because black people would not take their shit.

Ben Franklin would try modern clothes, start sleeping with trans women, then get addicted to the internet. He would be indistinguishable from someone from the 21st century within a year tops

What Founding Fathers would have to say.

"Did you not read all 'men' are created equal. That did not include slaves or women."

"C'mon, Franklin, we're going to New Brunswick."

"What for?"

"For the whoring and the drinking, of course!"

Franklin pops right up, eager to go

Unfortunately, porn is getting banned, so little Ben will not have his happy ending.

There's not much that's more gross than pale skins worshiping enslavers.

Oh my God, I haven't laughed this hard at a meme in a very long time. Congratulations.

Being submitted by a couple of dead white men is true alpha male behavior.

"Look what they've made of our dream. This bloated, rotting carcass of an empire is driven not by reason and hope but by fear, hate and ignorance."

Honestly, they'd be horrified at a bunch of things, some of which are on MAGA, and some on progressives. Maybe we shouldn't be taking the ideas of slaveowners from over 200 years ago as seriously as we do.
