From historian Tad Stoemer about the true history of the United States: “The most embarrassing thing about modern founder worship isn't just that it's historically silly. It's watching mostly white people breathlessly embrace the founders like they're on the same team, when the founders designed this entire system to keep people like them from having real power. They're cosplaying a revolution that was explicitly designed to exclude them, and almost everyone else. And it still works that way.” #
