The only revolution that turned out for the better was the American Revolution. But we weren’t infested with Muslims. I have serious doubts about a Democratic middle east.

The American revolution was a result of divine providence. Men with such radically diverse ideals and political views could have never held together without the hand of God directing the show. And they did it all while defeating the most powerful military machine the world had known to that point.

“The only revolution that turned out for the better was the American Revolution”

That’s because it was a war for independence rather than a social revolution.

The colonies had been largely self-governing for years. The British governors were an unwanted overlay. The founders didn’t have to invent a governing system from scratch, they simply built on the burgesses and town councils that already existed.
