Donald Trump’s actions go against the Enlightenment values that gave rise to the constitution. His might-is-right politics have nothing to offer Britain
The founding fathers were oligarchs of their time. Most of which owned slaves. The way to fight right wing extremists that we see today is not to appeal to the Oligarchy of the past in some delusion of modern history.
Yes, most Americans are ignorant of our genocidal and white supremacists foundations of this country. But the answer to dealing with modern day genocidal imperialism and xenophobia are not to appeal to an imaginary past of “founding fathers”. It is to educate people on the actual class struggles that have been raging in this country since it was founded. And to make the 99% realize that they are in solidarity with the slaves, servants, coal miners, factory workers, and working class people that built this country.
Fuck the “founding fathers”. They put into the constitution and founding documents the exact structures that are protecting their class today. They didn’t “fail” and government didn’t “destroy” them. The system is working exactly as it was intended to and setup for. For the rule of the land/capital owning class.
