If Trump and Musk were alive in 1776 their names would have appeared on the Declaration of Independence. At the time, signing that document was a radical act. The signers of that document put their personal safety, their wealth, and their lives literally on the line to create a new nation. I doubt if that fact is taught in any of our schools today.
the Founding Fathers would have cut their cable tv
they understood you do not fund your enemy
“At the time, signing that document was a radical act. The signers of that document put their personal safety, their wealth, and their lives literally on the line to create a new nation. I doubt if that fact is taught in any of our schools today.”
Absolutely. And not just the signers, but those patriots who supported them. We the people can do the same thing now to make a change with our pocketbooks. Just voting is not enough. But it require standing on principle without compromise. It would take mass efforts to stop feeding the beast. But unfortunately that will never happen. No one has the strength and dedication our forefathers had. They are either too lazy or refuse to sacrifice even a minimal amount of their personal comfort to stand on principle. We live in a world where two clicks of a mouse button is one click too many and raises complaints. And they would not even boycott Charmin toilet paper for another brand when they deserved to be boycotted.
This is our reality so we are never going to get it back. No one cares enough to sacrifice self enough to get it back.
Some lost everything. Homes, money. Some died.
The government didn’t compensate them either.
