all that Revolutionary War cosplay in three-cornered hats, waving their Don't Tread On Me flags, all those stupid AI memes with Trump dressed like Washington crossing the Delaware, some people have conveniently forgotten what the Revolution was about. If Trump is posturing as a king, maybe George III, who was also as crazy as a shithouse rat, shouldn't be his role model, since the conflict didn't end well for him. And maybe "King" Donald might do well to read the Declaration of Independence, which I'm sure he's never laid eyes upon.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
So none of that applies any more?
Many people derided the attention paid the recent spectacles of the British monarchy - royal weddings, the Queen's funeral, the contretemps surrounding the feud with Harry and Meghan, etc., pointing out that we unloaded that bunch of parasites almost 250 years ago. Guess we want it all back...
