Just want to make the point that the founding fathers were still alive as the industrial revolution started.
But yeah, their minds would be blown.
I would always imagine them oohing and ahhing over all the “magic”, but then shaking their heads at the same political shenanigans, SSDD.
John Adams had a reputation for honesty and his strong moral code, but then he still signed into law the alien and sedition acts.
And he WAS a founding father.
That was an interesting time though. I mean, they had almost no precedent for almost anything. So a president would do something, and if it worked or the other branches didn’t shut him down, it kind of became the standard. And they were really flying blind in some situations.
(And the Supreme Court letting the president do what he wants even though it was clearly bullshit… That was also not uncommon, at least before the civil war.)
One thing is for certain though… the states have always been full of hypocritical, ignorant jackasses, that vote along party lines without understanding the issue.
