They still at least pretend to believe it. Without that basic lie, their whole construct collapses like a house of cards. Lincoln included it in his Gettysburg address by opening with "fourscore and seven years ago". That statement was recognized by newspaper editors in those days as a palpable lie, but since the GAR engraved Lincoln's deluded ranting of that day in marble at the temple of his cult in DC, it has been taught as gospel truth in our schools.

If Lincoln's BS is to be believed, our form of government was designed and put into effect on July 4th, 1776. That would come as shocking news to the men who framed the document which currently serves as the supreme law of the land. It would also shock the first President of the government created in that document. Washington knew full well that he was by no means the first President of all the states, only the first President of the union of states created by the US Constitution.

An absolute and dedicated ignorance of history is necessary in order to swallow this DF nonsense. By 'ignorance' I mean the old definition of the word taught in school when I was a child, which is that ignorance isn't lack of knowledge it's the practice of willfully ignoring the available knowledge. "A willful ignorance of fact" is how my teachers put it.
