… what do you imagine they’d think or do differently? What if our Founding Fathers could get a weeklong sample of today’s America a week before they bring debate on declaring independence? Or leaders, both north and South, from 1861 could see the results of the Civil War they plunged the nation into?

They would shave Biden’s taint with a rusty spoon

They would beg King George for forgiveness at how badly they fricked up.

They’d probably spend the entire time jerking off from the incredible access to porn and getting fricked up for a week.

First I would imagine they would be surprised the US is still the US and how physically large it had become and even more surprised that it has been the world's greatest power for 70+ years.

In all honesty, I think they would be wise and smart enough not to go back and change anything. The slightest tweak could result in a hugely different arc, one that might be better or one that might result in an early demise.

Would probably rearrange the order of the first and second amendments.

Import white slaves. If we didn’t have a skin color difference the entire political ruling class could cheaply and easily exploit we’d be a better country.

It’s a shame we demand recognition based on skin color at the expense of generations of children.

MLK Jr said he dreamed of a day when his children are judged by the content of their character not the color of the skin.

The current political establishment demands you look at skin color before any other factor and judge a person based on that alone. It’s infuriating and unfair and pathetic and depressing for me. Can you imagine how much it must suck to be judged based on nothing but your skin color every single day by politicians, the media, sports personalities, educational institutions, Hollywood, etc…

They would probably have trouble wrapping their brain around how we live today. They would probably think that there are things happening today they never imagined.

Then after a week of observing they would draw up a revised version that would be able to apply to today. As for as what they would change, I have no idea.

As a huge history buff who has visited the homes of several Founding Fathers....I spend my time on their grounds pondering this but we know the answer already. They went to war and had way more freedom than we do.

They would prepare for war. They’d send a letter to the government with their grievances and then prepare for the response.

You underestimate the left. Male, female, shim, heterosexual, homo, pedo, rich, poor, etc. The left are masters of Marxism and will always thrive on group divide and conquer strategies.

The conversations of sexism and classism would be ten fold.

They'd probably wonder why black people can do whatever they want

This has become a monthly thread since Trump took office.

You mean why men think they’re women and vice versa.
