We live in a country founded for the sole purpose of defying its parent nation so please don't be shocked that it couldn't even be loyal to itself for 200 years
You know how relationships that begin as acts of infidelity are always doomed to destroy themselves from the resentment and distrust they inevitably induce?

Why wouldn't the same go for nations founded via revolution?
You don't actually live in America anymore. You live on a vast landmass referred to as 'America' ruled by an evil empire that calls itself 'America' but you don't actually live in America anymore. There have been like 6 or 7 'Americas' since its inception.

You know this, right?
Freedom, equality, pursuit of happiness etc — does anyone pretend these concepts are collectively understood anymore?

America's credo was defined ONLY in opposition to the empire it resisted, now its founding terms are meaningless. Maybe they always were
Go ahead, ask 10 people what "freedom and equality" mean and recoil in horror as your receive 10 different answers. That's a bug, not a feature.

In 2020 America isn't so much an idea as it is a series of empty platitudes. America's a dead language
Think the founders really believed "all men are created equal?"

By modern standards George Washington would be worth half a billion. Jefferson owned (and raped) slaves. Woe to the Constitution-worshipping dipshits who don't see the profound dissonance espoused by these men
We're all revisionists wrt the vagueness of the og documents but there's none more pitiful than ppl who plead that you read the Federalist Papers and private letters to ascertain le TRUE founding intent.

Idc, the founders were wealthy sophists who lied to justify themselves
America doesn't belong to you, conservative— you're not her type. You want to go slow and steady, make an honest woman out of her. LMAO.

America wants to get fucked behind a dumpster.

Freak out and let future generations clean up the mess, THAT'S revolution baby
As disorder begats disorder, revolution begats revolution. That's why conservatives are always displaced— they're not revolutionaries, and revolution is the sole American tradition.

Pitiful 'classical liberal', you want to 'conserve', what, the seeds of your own oppression??
Newsflash: the rightful inheritors of America ARE antifa and black people who, true to American tradition, derive their moral justification from the opposition, the RESISTANCE of a thing: first as tragedy (the crown), then as farce (whiteness)
Revolution is a cycle, not an event. We're late-stage (probably). We're at the part where society is so far removed from the founding trauma which caused our dysfunction that we just destroy our own culture every 10 years to cope
Everything that happens in America now is a self-cleansing act of nature, like an uncontrolled forrest fire. You're the squirrel. You can't 'fix' it, no system can fix it, you can only survive it. That's your goal: survive America. Good luck!
