Your statement was “The US founding fathers included everyone in their vision”

It isn’t true. And the idolisation some people have for wealthy white landowners from 250 years ago is just weird. Judge the world on today



I am judging it from today—if the founding fathers developed that framework today, Enlightenment ideals would rationally lead them to include everyone based on the progress of social thought up to this point. I won’t hold their lack of social progress against them because they were pioneers for their time.
