Those dates are kinda wrong.

The Boston non-importation act was in 1768, and the Boston Massacre was in 1770. The Boston Tea Party wouldn’t happen for three more years in 1773, and we declared our Independence three years after that, in 1776.

There was eight years between all those events, not three. It’s kinda funny how people around here think that since we haven’t acted yet, in three months, all is already lost, when it took our forefathers eight years just to tell the British that we were tired of their shit.

Also, Sam Adams and the Sons of Liberty were the original TheDonald and kept the based shitposting machine going absolutely nonstop in their pubs and taverns to “light brush fires of freedom in the minds of men.”

Our sides’ messaging. Can never. STOP.

All valid and historically correct points. Also true however is that in 2021 things move far more quickly. What happened over years back then can happen in mere months today. And they don't have just months - they have four years, four years because no one is desperate enough yet to actually stand up to them.
