If we sent Blake Griffin back in time to 1800 in the South, would he be okay? Maybe if he wore hat?

hamilton probably would have ended the republic had he won the 1800 presidential election. he didn't merely distrust democracy like most of the founding fathers, he hated it. plus he loved supporting finance and wall street

G. Washington was a fumbling idiot who couldn't help but fail upwards. His decision to resign after two terms stems from him being a doddering old gently caress who just wanted to get back to whipping his slaves.

George Washington's crippling awareness of his own mediocrity meaning he refused to stay god-king of America until he died 3. Jefferson and Hamilton being so busy fighting each other over whether the aristocracy or the executive should rule that an actual democracy snuck up behind them and beat their respective visions of the future to death

if you gently caress an eagle while strangling it to death you gain a permanent psychic link with the founding fathers and that's how you become a strict originalist

A Buttery Pastry posted:Must've been revived at some point, since modern day America is ruled by a massively powerful executive with a coterie of modern day aristocrats to run the day-to-day affairs of state. nah. we're still much more democratic than any of them would have wanted. the landed gentry do not permit a public vote as an amusement, following which the gentlemen of the electoral college confer as to who the actual president should be, before retiring to the country fiefdoms they rule over as kings. the executive does not wield absolute financial, legislative, and judicial power, and despite its dramatic expansion over the last forty years is still relatively limited. it is possible for a huge loving idiot the whole of the political establishment despises to achieve political power in the united states by telling people what they want to hear. and if you told any of the founding fathers that would be possible in the future, they'd have fallen over stone dead out of terror.

A Buttery Pastry posted:Compared to what? Under most parliamentary systems, the Prime Minister is in effect an absolute dictator provided he or she can assemble a majority in the legislature(s). The UK doesn’t even have a constitution, which means 50%+1 gives you unlimited power to make and eliminate laws. Imagine the damage Trump could do if he could rewrite the constitution via a bill passed simple majority under threat of calling snap elections if it gets voted down. Westminster-style democracies generally don’t turn into dictatorships because Prime Ministers are dependent on support from their own party, the Republican party is bugfuck insane and Congress would do whatever Trump told it to for fear of getting primaried.

It's now wonder why Obama and similar centrist dems got so obsessed with the musical.

Hamilton is the worst of the Founders, which is loving saying something. The class betraying poo poo-eater devised the whiskey excise tax which was essentially an income tax on the poor farmers who used it as a medium of exchange. It also taxed large distillers much less than small scale distillers (lol east coast neolibs love legislating in favor of large corporations) It is the ultimate Lib loving thing and really set the precedent for all the crappy poo poo neolibs do today: 1) Not understanding working class people 2) Using bullshit moralism to tax something 3) Legislating to benefit the Eastern manufacturers and producers Washington ended up creating his own distillery and made bank. And that in essence is the true nature of our great country.

 Started reading this lately, pretty interesting to see how FDR of all people used Jefferson as inspiration. http://www.history.ac.uk/reviews/review/1850 https://www.c-span.org/video/?325320-1/andrew-burstein-democracys-muse quote:FDR saw parallels between the Jefferson/Hamilton debate and the contemporary struggles between New Deal Democrats and Republicans. Democrats, like Jefferson, fought against private greed and corruption while Republicans, like Hamilton, supported banks and opposed regulations against monopolies and other government efforts to level the playing field. Bonus: Hamilton's big ,full balls. http://ploddingthroughthepresidents.blogspot.com/2017/11/john-adams-on-hamiltons-superabundance.html
