I'm not sure why this is supposed to be some kind of valid argument to someone.
People are running around comparatively naked, glowing bricks and boxes are everywhere babbling constantly. You can't drink the water in streams even if you boil it. Cars and planes and helicopters are all over. Women and people who aren't just land holding white men can participate in the government.
No shit they'd be horrified.
He's objectively wrong anyway.
He clearly doesn't know shit about our political history. We've done super shady shit since the beginning.
In fact the shit that's happening now isn't even new. It is so eerily similar to the shenanigans leading up to the civil war.
Ben Franklin was shagging French women for years. He also politically assassinated John Adams's French diplomat assignment. Got him kicked out of Paris so he could keep shagging French women alongside Jefferson.
I do think they’d be genuinely horrified at the power of the federal government, since that seemed to be a major concern for them.
Sure. That was the reason for the big initial split into a two party system.
Jefferson/Madison wanted weak federal government and Adams/Hamilton wanted a strong central government.
And never the two shall meet. (Both sides claimed it would be the end of the world if the other side ever gained power.)
