      Yes, no, it’s complicated. If you wanted to cherry pick data for either direction, you can do it. It’s more accurate to say there was a wide mix of ideologies.

      Maybe we shouldn’t be so beholden to the opinions of people from 200+ years ago.

      I still don’t get why this is so important to people. Yes there was a religious cult that came to what is now the US. Ok? It’s a cute historical event but it doesn’t add up to a whole lot.

      Yes, to the founding fathers, the monarchy was an entity like god. It was there but did nothing, helped them in no way and only took from them. They were all born into this colony where people were expected to serve a faceless king across the ocean.
