I don’t disagree with anything you said, but they did at least built a Constitution for We the people as opposed to a new world monarchy.
It’s not completely evil and darkness nor completely rainbows and sunshine.
Comment on This country (the USA) was founded by REVOLT

No it wasn’t…
America was “founded” because the people who got rich early from none forcement of smuggling didn’t want to just stand by while the English government started to finally collect on due taxes.
It’s fucking crazy people still believe the shit we learned in elementary school.
It was “new money” revolting against “old money” and they only won because the French royal family wouldn’t too piss off the English royal so much it cost them their heads.

They did a lot better than those who came before them, and we can do a lot better than they did.

“We the people” originally meant land owning white males, they just didn’t have to write that part down.

They did, they just didn’t write it specifically in the foundational documents. It’s in their letters, Jefferson in particular. It’s in the Federalist Papers. It’s all over their literature.

I didn’t say “honorable” revolt…

If that was a revolt then literally everything is a revolt, so why did you use a word that you believe to be meaningless and capitalize it like trump does?

Why is it my job to explain your interpretation of what I said?
