      apparently it was secret because his followers said “It’s just a joke bro” after each time.

    Say Trump gets his wish and becomes authoritarian leader of the US, the god-king his voters want.

    When he dies in less than 10 years, who’s going to take his place? What’s the end goal for the Republicans after Trump? Do they even have one? (Probably not).

      Lol if you think Republicans don’t have a plan, you’re not paying attention. Those people are crafty motherfuckers.

        I mean yes but recently there are also true believers. People like MGT (I think that was her name?) aren’t any craftier than a rock.

      They were also into owning people and women having no rights so who gives a fuck what they thought?

        Yeah I dunno where this idea of whitewashing the Founding Fathers as unequivocal good guys came from. They fucking sucked, most of them were morally bankrupt businessmen who would love Trump. These are the kinda idiots who saddled us with the Electoral College because “the general public couldn’t be trusted to choose their own leaders”, let’s stop pretending like they founded America as a stroke of genius with perfect systems.

          It’s pretty much impossible to support the idea that the Founding Fathers were “morally bankrupt”. There is no unmoving foundation of morality that remains unchanged throughout human history, and judging historical figures from over 200 years ago by today’s moral standards simply makes no sense.

          Were they immoral by today’s standards? Yes, absolutely. Where they immoral by 19th century standards? I’d say they were about average, but I’m not from that time so I couldn’t say for sure.

              Yes, even some of the founding fathers. For example, George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, John Adams, Samuel Adams, and other Framers of the Constitution were abolitionists.
