Well I mean he wasn’t alive during a time when people literally dragged their oppressors out from their offices, or threw bricks at police, or fought against factory towns with barons who were throwing pinkertons at them. But also George was a slave owner so he doesn’t get a free pass.
I began to believe that we lack balls. Congress betrayed us to a dictator, and dictators sold us to Saudi Arabia and Bibi. White people exhibit false bravado.
Funfact:
In Warhammer 40k a planet that secedes from the Empire of Man by the will of its leaders (caricatures of rich oligarchs) it's up to the lower classes to be first line of defense. In lore there have been planets who successfully rose up, but because it took them too long they got punished.
If he was alive, he'd wonder why the slaves were freed and what a good job he must have done wiping out the Natives. He'd probably be cheering on ICE right now as they are kidnapping Natives. You all gotta stop idolizing slave owners. lol
Jesus tapdancing Christ, I know you don't like the comparison, ordering marines into LA isn't unlike the federal government forming militias to quell the whiskey rebellion. They did not tolerate citizen dissent.
Not to mention Op's post sounds like "Make America Great Again". No, make America progressive instead of fueled by racial hatred for once
“The total destruction and devastation of [the Indian] settlements and capture as many prisoners as possible.” - Actual George Washington's orders to 5k soldiers
My understanding was he was beginning to think it was wrong, that it went against the ideals of freedom he sought for the country. But he was too cowardly to go against his society and free them. Still not a good look.
There's more to all trumps bankruptcies that made him look like a failed businessman. First, he'd get massive loans from banks, and then he'd declare himself bankrupt. He became a serial bankrupt, and banks got wise to him and stopped doing business with him,
note he'd better not be talking to the republicans. their balls are not the problem. his only hope is to slap the democrats and...good luck with that. 😛
I think you have reading comprehension problem? I'm agreeing that they were wrong about many things, including slavery. But that doesn't mean they were wrong about overthrowing your oppressors/tyrants. They were hypocrites, but that doesn't mean they can't be right once in a while too.
We've discovered that this whole democracy thing was all a house of cards built on political norms of sane people all set up when you turned down a third term. Who coulda known?
Washington would call Trump a moderate. He'd wonder why black people weren't in chains, why Native Americans still exist and why women are allowed to vote.
I don't believe in a hell, but at times like this, I really wish there was one for men like him.
Then when he was writing that magic document why didn't he ban slavery and give all people the right to vote? And why did he permit the continued slaughter of indigenous people?
Admit the founders were slave owning misogynists not interested in equality but in protecting the patriarchy will lend a better starting point of understanding today’s troubles.
Why fight an ancient battle? Why not photoshop an image which might motivate someone to protest on July 4th or celebrate the good aspects of our nation on July 4th or show up for the next mass protests on July 17th or call their Senators and/or their Rep?
One of the main drivers for the American Revolution was that Britain had signed treaties with indigenous tribes restricting further European expansion.
The sham democracy they set up was no more representative than the system they had before.
What good did the first two men on the mountain do?
I’d be curious to know what “take back your country” actually looks like. Even if 47 could be impeached/removed, the entire line of succession is Republican. We have no legal mechanism to remove MAGA or MAGA adjacent until 2027 at the earliest, and even then it would be next to impossible.
IMPEACH AND DUMP TRAITOR , NAZIS , FELONS, AND CON REPUBLICONS EVERYWHERE. YES CON REPUBLICONS, CLIMATE CHANGE IS DANGEROUS, REAL, DISRUPTIVE WORLDWIDE, COSTLY, AND PREVENTABLE. STOP DENYING CLIMATE CHANGE AND FACE THE SCIENCE . DUMP THE CON RTRUMP AND CRONIES. DEPORT RTRUMP'S WIFE AND RELATIVES.
Rom 13: 1-2
Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves.
Relax...
I mean, honestly, what can we really take from this? He was part of the one per cent, a slave owner and a guy who led the military in a tax revolt after which only rich landowners could vote. It's not like he took out King George.🙄
I voted for Kamala and would gladly do it again. But, I hope Pete Buttigieg runs in 2028! He is our only hope to fix the enormous mess that will await him!
Fuck them enslavers right along with their present day successors.
They built a system for the rich white landlord to maintain his power. and now we have a rich white landlord in charge doing rich white landlord shit a little more mask off than usual and you act like this isn't a natural result.
If I could I would post this meme on every congressman and every senators page on every social network.. but it takes me like 10 minutes just to find one of them online
The one country, that will defend it's rights for guns, to defend itself, can't also complain that because of guns, they can't win back their country from a dictator
Im begging nonamericans to start understanding we are in a cold civil war turning hot, the country is not a hivemind. the people who fetishize the guns own the guns, the people who dont desire to hurt others dont have them.
Nah, he’d just whip his slaves, shoot a few Natives, and turn American troops against his fellow Americans, just like he did when he was still alive. George Washington was a creep.
As an American who ordains the US Constitution, I testify that Donald Trump violated his oath of office. For this High Crime I place him under Citizen’s Arrest and remove him from office immediately for due processing. No one is immune to an oath. That would betray the definition of an oath.
After the overturn of Roe V Wade, I NEVER thought the RepubliCONS Would EVER have the Majority in the House or Senate for a generation or the White House ! WTF happened? That issue pissed off 75% of the voters? I’m still stumped! The media should still be on it!
The guy who helped build a government that enshrined slavery and only allowed wealthy white men to vote? With the exception ending slavery, what our government devolved to is the natural progression of what he fought for. Washington did great things, but don't romanticize the past too much.
The constitution was written vaguely, expecting that it would be read and obeyed. Even though it held up for the most part, it was in hindsight incredibly naive.
You warned against entangling alliances. But alas, the man child we choose as leader nowadays has a pretty big ego to soothe and lots of shiny toys that kill to
Play with!
Suggestion box is empty - care to start filling it with some answers to How might USA overcome complicity in Congress, WH, and Big Biz to take back what's left of the governance infrastructure?

We DO NOT need any more balls. We have too many little ones already. What we need is boobs. If a woman gets hit there, it bounces off and she moves on instead of crumbling into a high-pitched pile of whimpering with a chorus of all the other balls nearby in sympathy whimpering.
Washington would call Trump a moderate. He'd wonder why black people weren't in chains, why native Americans still exist and why women are allowed to vote.
I am sure a middle aged white guy in marketing is going to out power the strongest military ever to overthrow the US government. I will get right on that.
All sarcasm aside, but until the military joins the fight all we can do is protest and complain. Hopefully vote.
So every revolution in human history is a joke to you? Newsflash, most of them started by some peasant(s) who have finally had enough.
Americans have been pre-emptively gaslit, by their abusers, to think that by defending themselves from the abuse, they become no better than the abuser.
I am aware of history... but you might have not noticed, but the peasants don't have tanks, jet fighters, and battleships. The US military is more powerful than any force on earth. The only thing close is China's.
You're overstating that gulf. Also the military never sides with any revolution. They are protectors of unjust status quo regimes, and used to attack the "rebels". They also never stop the rebellion / revolution. Because once the revolution flame is lit, the army finds itself overwhelmed.
A man would have bitch slapped t-Rump 10 years ago.
I give 20 bucks to any man to bitch slap him today. He could not take a punch. He certainly could not take a bitch slap...
I will say this, if anyone brave or a group of brave people do take it upon themselves to try and make a self-sacrifice for the greater good of everyone, as heroes, and take trump out..
realize that it's not a person you are eliminating, it is the Devil himself.
Here's something: I don't, can't, and won't resort to pretending to care about what a fucking vicious, evil, diabolical SLAVE OWNER, who pulled the teeth of his slaves out to put in his own mouth, would have thought ABOUT ANYTHING. G. Washington was the Musk of his era.
Ability has become controlled by allowing ourselves slaves to systems. Common group gatherings whittled away by distractions. Quick collectives have been severed, first out of the gates get sacrificed spreading more fear to others who might be successful, but necessary sacrifices build strength!
Omg this. Thinking that peacefully protesting every two weeks is going to stop this It's absolute madness The second amendment exists for moments we are in.
Not to mention the difference would be to defend ourselves from a tyrannical government. I guarantee if Trump felt like we would be more than willing to give them the same energy he would Go hide in a bunker.
Truth spoken! It’s past time we demand real accountability and fight back.Preach! We need to stop being complacent and start taking action.No more silence. Time to stand up and reclaim our democracy.
And it isn't. They aren't. He isn't, both materially and figuratively.
Fully surrendered after 911 2001. The internal version of 1973.
After the neoliberal petty oligarchic subversion from the 1980's on.
Yeah, a slave owner who ordered his troops to burn Iroquois villages and look the other way when his commanders raped and killed. (Look up Goose Van Schaick).

A guy who would refuse to be king would trust his people to do what was necessary to reclaim what he bestowed upon them … free will and … freedom.

The past is what got us here. Clinging to it will only exacerbate our current problems.
We must admit the founding fathers were flawed and wrong.

Lincoln orchestrated the massacre and deportation of thousands of indigenous people.
But at least Lincoln didn't own slaves and probably wasn't a rapist like Washington.
Both would view Trump as a moderate.
Lincoln wanted all freed black people to move to Liberia.

I'd be delighted if we became mutual supporters (awesome profile)
Followed you 🙂🗽💙
Have a great day/evening 😁 🙏
Balls ain't working.
We need WOMEN in charge.
She represents the patriarchy.
We need women in charge who represent the matriarchy.

You ready to do that?
Slave-raping scum.
On the other hand:
A C-grade political science dissertation should not be the framework for governing the most powerful country on Earth.
How did he violate his oath of office?
Not a Dem
Still not an answer to an honest question
🤷♀️
His word choice would be better than that of a drunken idiot.
Basically, don't shame dad like that, kid.

He was absolutely racist.
He is a traitor by every letter of the law. The U. S. Constitution itself names him a treasonous enemy of the state.
All sarcasm aside, but until the military joins the fight all we can do is protest and complain. Hopefully vote.

I would love if it was successful, just realistic that we will need military help to be successful

so that some other gang of oligarchs can run it?
Betty White said it right:

After the neoliberal petty oligarchic subversion from the 1980's on.
The only thing that's changed is now you can slaughter children using drones instead of muskets.
