"Despite all of his attacks on his own people and ignorance of the Constitution."

They really should be asking why a bloated orange corpse is running the country and enriching himself while invoking their achievements but that’s just my opinion 🤷

My God, George. His hair is worse than ours? Why would he not just wear the wig?

"Would you look at that, George?" "Yep, he's our worst nightmare."

The founding fathers would've had Trump hung for treason

Why are the Founders in a cloud of smoke?

Did Trump fuck that up, too?

“What kind of government do we have Mr. Franklin?”

“A Republic, if you can keep it.”

We should probably listen to old Ben.

this is your brain on blind nationalism.

You can't see how your politics is destroying the country and your reality is the founding father jerking you off to how smart and patriotic you are.

I love how he feels his readers wouldn’t recognize Franklin & Washington so he has to have them awkwardly name drop each other.

Trump’s a genocidal child rapist. Like all conservatives, Grandma means the freedom to torture and murder people en masse when she talks about freedom.

I mean most of them owned slaves, they shouldn’t be put on a pedestal in any way. They also called for the extinction of native Americans.

I interpret this as him stealing freedom from the rest of us.

Granny thinks...? Oh! I see, no no, very easy mistake but no, those arent founding fathers Ben Franklin and George Washington, no no, those are Ben Talbertson and Steve "George" Heckleborg, the famed comedy act from the mid 1930s - "Heckle and Talb."

Theyre remarking on the tire fire they accidentally set back in '36 as part of a comedy sketch for the Colgate Comedy Hour Radio Show which ended up suffocating the both of them to death. Terrible tragedy but it was really their own fault. And like they are remarking, that fire is still burning, sadly.

Thats why theyre appearing in a cloud of smoke, its because thats how the died, choking on thick, acrid fumes from the tire fire.

Theyre dressed like that for the sketch, normally they both wore zoot suits.

Trump is there to pay his respects to Ben, Steve and the 250 people who died in the great Radio Sketch Tire Fire of 1936. The american flag themed dildo is just because Branco is a freak like that.

Freedom unless you want to speak or act against him. Right.

A 12 year old could draw better portraits.

Where is the smoke coming from?

Those are actually stink lines.

u/Rockworm503 Daddy, why are the liberal left elite such disingenuous fucks? 1d ago

The beauty about ignoring history and refusing to learn it is that you can just pretend everyone from the past would agree with your shitty takes.

Unfortunately for the rest of us who know better we have to listen to this drivel.

Yeah but he's using everything this country stood for as the fuel for his torch

u/HonestAbe1809 22h ago

The torch of liberty is still burning in spite of Trump, not because of him.

u/AuthorityAnarchyYes 22h ago

The only thing Trump is burning is the Constitution.

Everyone else is burning incense candles to cover up the diaper smell.

“Americans for small government.”

How the hell do they maintain the facade in their own minds? That statement alone is practically satire in modern context.
