Very true; I probably would have been a loyalist back then, as I would have supported my King, especially since it wasn't really King George III that was screwing over the colonists, but rather the (ironically elected) Parliament of Great Britain. And ironically, the King actually used his reserve powers to push Parliament to back off and used royal edicts to try and quell the sentiment, but it was too little, too late.
The whole move to Canada thing though--ugh, too cold. Maybe I would have moved to the Bahamas LOL.
I am definitely still a loyalist, though, in 2020--absolutely loyal to His Excellency* Donald Trump, President of the United States of America.
(* His actual legal title; Mr. President being for use inside the US).
In the 1770's they called you loyalists
