A shitty admin works with a shitty propaganda machine to produce shitty bullshit.
George Washington would be super happy to see what we’ve become. Sorta like how Jesus would be stoked by the Prosperity Gospel.
(Jesus was not a historical figure. He was originally a figure in heaven. Now let me really blow your mind: Washington also wasn’t a historical figure. He was originally the devil in hell! I’m joking of course, shut up, I need gallows humor to not be depressed by this shit. The bit about Jesus was not a joke, however.)
USA! USA! USA!
Washington was the wealthiest man in America at the time of his death. He might abhor the low rent crassness of this particular iteration of benediction. But I don’t think he’d mind the 250 years of dogmatic ass-kissing that brought us to this moment.
Dude would be quite happy to hear his face is on money and his name is branded into the country he helped plunder, from sea to shining sea.
According to his will, he also owned 124 slaves at the time of his death.
It’s so fucking jarring to consider such a thing. Imagine being told somebody you know owned over 100 other humans just like yourself and that being factual.
