This article makes me sad.
You keep sitting on your ass voting for these people America.
What do you want me to say?
This person is an idiot.
The world today would look nothing like it does without the inspiration of what happened July 4, 1776
Why, hell! Just move to England and voila, problem solved.
Neoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..................
........................I don’t think so.
If Dylan Matthews likes England so much, he should move there. “Traitor-minded” people like him go against the grain of the American spirit. Our Founding Fathers gave their all for him to have the freedom to spew his hate.
Disgusting. Who is that, English Bob? My ancestors had an answer for him ... at Bloody Angle!
Only for commie, rock sucking libtards.
What is this stupid blog and whatever possessed you to mis-post this under News?
The biggest thing that happened was the exile of all the Tories. This basically removed the old-line conservative element from the country, which set the stage for an extremely radical republic during the 1789-1820 period.
Open ridicule is needed for idiots like this Vox writer. Google his image... what a dork.
"Dylan Matthews is one of the staff members at Vox, an online media venture along with Ezra Klein, Melissa Bell, and Matthew Yglesias. Matthews is the son of Jim Matthews, creator of Fetch"
"Vox writer Dylan Matthews called for President Obama to “unilaterally” ban Americans from owning gun on June 16, 2016."
In other words, we wouldn’t have the Democrat Party.
Oh goody....a spoiled brat who went to Harvard and thinks he knows something
His parents failed him. His university failed him. His employer has failed him
I guess the English treatment of the Scots, Irish and Welsh don’t count. Things done all over the world are only bad if the evil Americans did them.
Bow down to your masters, slaves.
You won't find a more wretched hive of scum and villianry.
Ooo, we have a live one here! Shouldn't he have a cup of cocoa and PJs?
He envisions a utopian Royal America complete with a coexist policy towards the American Indians, early abolition of slavery and a Parliamentary government. Talk about cherry-picking and contra-factual perspective, he appears to forget what 1770s Britain was about.
Prior to the Napoleonic Wars, this was close to the recent height of the British Aristocracy and much of them wanted lands and titles for "younger sons" in America. With the push to turn the 13 Colonies from proprietorships into Royal Colonies, their ability to force such privileges here would have been made easy.
Also missing from this idiocy is any matching of behavior that historical Britain had towards Ireland, India and the later African colonies. Princely chaps and behavior, don't you know!
I could go MUCH FURTHER but what is the point? Let this fool dream of the Union Jack, wrapped around his neck!
The US probably would have ended up as a giant Hudson’s Bay Company, complete with a plethora of Lords and Ladies trampling the citizens with their horse-drawn carriages and and army of mustachioed British drill sergeants to keep the Darkies and dissidents in line. I don’t share the author’s optimistic viewpoint.
