It was beyond comprehension to the Brits in 1775 as well.
“We’ll just go confiscate those arms of these upstart colonists. That’ll show them who’s the boss.” Er, didn’t quite work out that way. Just think, I the brits had won we’d all be speaking engli........... Oh, we do. Never mind.
Leftists are of the same mindset as the Brits of 1775 (and perhaps some even today) -
rebellion to the gov’t/King is rebellion to God.
The Brits were still under the “divine right of kings” mindset,
and the left is under the “government is god” Humanist religious assumption.
Excellent!
