“Once upon a time in America, there was a tyrant. And Congress rejected him totally. The tyrant, of course, was King George III”
Constantly spewing bullshit like that is exactly why your democracy crashed. When everything is part of some mystical “greatest nation in the world” fairly tale it’s hard to recognize and defend truly important values.
Congress didn’t reject the King because he was a tyrant. American elites rejected the King to establish new system where they could reap all the benefits. Then they enslaved people and committed genocide to enrich themselves. It was greed, not bravery that motivated them.
