Great thing is, none of it matters.

These folk have some vague idea of what the Revolution was and what it was about, and have some nebulous second or third hand understanding of the Constitution and what is and is not appropriate to a republican form of government, but, ultimately, none of it matters.

Most people are woefully ignorant of basic facts of law and government, and yet, we’ve survived. The TP’ers can dress up in tricorn hats and knee breeches till the cows come home - changes nothing one way or the other.

Right now, the leftish mob is riding high, and the rightish mob is howling; this is the inverse of the situation a few years ago.

Perhaps this (history) should be more thoroughly covered in oh I don’t know, schools maybe?
