Imagine trying to explain to thw founder that in a couple hundred years that our elections would be tampered with remotely.

There’s the joking: “what they heck do you mean ‘remotely’? Like with a carrier pidgeon? How does that work?”

And the more serious: “YOU LET THEM DO WHAT TO OUR REPUBLIC!?!? FOR HOW MANY YEARS HAS THIS BEEN HAPPENING!?

Imagine getting to heven and having to tell George Washington how you let them steal our country.

Terrifying.

Fight now so you don’t have to feel the shame later.

Anyone who allows this steal is going straight to hell.

George like. I sat on a horse, with diarrhea running down my legs from dysentery for 3 months, freezing watch my men freeze (15 a day) for liberty, so you could be a dumb bitch? Lord, come get this woman! I’m tunneling out! Lord! Everything is turning red. Lord! Get off muh cloud ho!

Yes and it's horrible to conceive. We have such cushy lives now, and make no mistake that we have worked hard for these lifestyles, but so many of us have it so good that we won't risk losing any of it if we rebel. Thats what people have to get their head around. Sacrifices will have to be made. Life will get uncomfortable. Peoples lives will be put in jeopardy. But it is our God given responsibility to stand up to tyranny. People will be lost. Jobs and fortunes lost. But in exchange we guarantee that truth prevails and our freedom is in tact.

And we have control of everything we need to survive and even prosper in hard times. We own the food supply change. We have the guns. Our military fighting elite are overwhelmingly conservatives. They will not go against us. The time is coming where you pick a side.

I love how arrogant we are, as if the men who were wise enough to write our constitution wouldn't be able to grasp the concept of telecommunications.

If anything, we would be completely in over our heads in a discussion with them, more likely!

Agreed. Great minds are timeless.

We are actually devolving. IQ getting lower, communication and problem solving skills decreasing as our "high tech" increases.

"Sound and pictures will travel on invisible waves across oceans instantaneously, so you can see and converse with people on other continents without waiting four months for an answer by steamship" would sound to an 18th century person like pure fantasy, the ravings of a madman, or black magic.

Remotely? So the savages tossed mortars at the polling booths? Did you wage war on them immediately, or..?

For real. And unfortunately, even if the founders knew, they wouldn’t be able to do anything different.

They literally made the freedom, I.e; the constitution and the bill of rights, the supreme law of the land. They made an entire system of government and laws that say this shit can’t happen. It’s not their fault a bunch of tyrants ignored it, and more strangely, the citizenry let them.

The tree of liberty must occasionally be watered with the blood of patriots and tyrants alike.

Well we do, but if we use them we get imprisoned.

It would be indistinguishable from sorcery to them

It would be amazing, to them to be sure.

However, their minds would adapt to the new paradymn quite quickly, at least in basic concept, if not full technological understanding.

The intellect they possessed cannot be overstated.

The whole thought of bringing some forefathers to 2020 and what they would think about us is fascinating.

Just imagine explaining safe spaces and micro aggressions to those absolute legends.

Just imagine explaining safe spaces and micro aggressions to those absolute legends.

"Half our population is extremely weak, and breaks down emotionally when they imagine themselves to have been provoked in ways invisible to normal men. We call these imaginary provocations microaggressions.

In order to preserve the sanity of the general population, those imagining the microaggressions must be provided with safe spaces. These are special buildings where they can cry without disturbing the rest of us.

I strongly suggest you watch Er ist wieder da.

Yes, it's a Hitler movie. Yes, it's a comedy--that suddenly turns very dark in the last ten minutes or so.

I like its portrayal of Hitler though. Usually media depicts him, at least in the war's closing years, as a raving madman. (That's why the sympathetic rendition in Der Untergang was so controversial.)

In Er ist wieder da, Hitler is shown to be savvy and adaptable, not to mention charismatic--which he was. Of course modern tech is mindblowing to him, but he immediately recognises its potential and jumps on it.

Not endorsing Hitler btw

Look how deep rooted censorship is in our culture that you can’t even study hitler without feeling guilty about it.we should treat the research of history with a clean slate. Otherwise, what makes history any different than a narrative?

I think some of our Founders did think this.
