If Franklin was alive today..DS would probably set out to destroy him. The FBI would raid his home. And the media would make crap up about him.
Probably all the original founders would be considered terrorists and a threat to our pretend democracy.

The DS was way ahead of you. The DS set out to destroy Ben’s brother James for publishing the anti-establishment New England Courant.” They shut him down. The newspaper published critical commentary about smallpox inoculation which fueled the controversy during the smallpox epidemic in Boston. Ultimately it was suppressed in 1726 by British colonial authorities for printing what they considered seditious articles.

So there you have it…the DS never changes throughout history.
