This is just one hell of a response all around, wow

Please feel free to elucidate your understanding of history further

Not a student of history, just a fan of the concept of "give me liberty or give me death."

It is a good line, however vexed it is as a description of the actual practical philosophy of the founding fathers. But the main thing that's funny here is describing Hamilton as being 'America sucks' when the opposite is more or less true, it's more or less positive about the Founding Fathers, practically hagiographic in regards to Washington. It's more negative about Burr and Jefferson, largely because Jefferson was probably the most egregiously hypocritical of the founding fathers, and Burr... well... murdered Hamilton.

Obviously you can't be expected to know that if you haven't heard or listened to the musical at all. But it kinda gives the impression that you came in here, from a position of ignorance, spoiling for a really particular kind of partisan historical fight about how dumb liberals think America sucks, regardless of the actual details of the subject at hand. And I think that's funny.

Yeah, my takeway isn't "America sucks" it's "America like, any political system, is a complex mess of compromises, and we have to be honest about it."

Last time I saw or heard that quote some dipship protestors were yelling it while refusing to wear masks because "the government told them to". Not as keen on it as I used to be.
