Unless you're DC where you've never been given representation and are currently larger than multiple states.

1770s USA: Fuck the monarchy. Fuck having an unaccountable king. Remember how hard it was to try Charles I? Aint having none of that here.

2020s USA: Convicting a former president is a bad look. Can the president even break the law in the first place?

1950s USA: Lets help overthrow Irans democratically elected government.

2020s USA: Iran really needs to become a democracy.

>Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog.
>I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho lads" the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms.
>Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion.
>He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up, Just as the founding fathers intended

I'm fairly certain that Americans pay more taxes today than the original tea tax that inspired the revolution
