Because the Pilgrims came to this Continent to be free from persecution and to enjoy Religious Freedom.
This Election has erased those lofty goals.
The fact is that half the American Electorate chose to be Governed while the other half chose to be Ruled.
As of January 20, 2021 those of us that chose being Governed will be at the mercy of those who chose being Ruled.
All you have to do is listen to what they promised before the (S)Election and what they are saying now.
” The New York Times food section published an article that called the Pilgrim story... claiming the history of our nation is an unbroken tale of conflict, oppression and misery.”
That’s what’s being taught in public schools as well, and has been for some years now.
Be careful.
The religious freedom notion is not exactly correct. They came here for THEIR religious freedom, which included the freedom to shut down or ban anyone who had a different belief system. They knew that a majority of those who left Europe on the Mayflower were also Puritans, but others were also fleeing Europe, and that is why the Mayflower Compact allowed the majority to dictate the practices of the community.
