Realistically Franklin: “So the women of today bathe regularly, are shaven, are disease free, and can decide to be incapable of pregnancy, and I can search for them easily in every city?!”
Jefferson: “You centralized the banks?!”
Franklin was a big fan of older women as well.
I think he would have a good time today.
That guy fucked
Dude was a straight up cougar hunter lol
I stand by the assertion that Benjamin Franklin would have learned about trans women and promptly attempted to cause a syphilis epidemic in the trans community based on his description for why he prefers older women
Modern Franklin: Damn this VR porn is fuckin sick
“What the fuck is the internet?”
Then Ben Affleck would show them movie poop shoot dot com to demonstrate
Bahnnngggg
I think they would be surprised either that we still adhere to the Constitution (I.e., we haven’t replaced or rewritten it), or that there are so few amendments.
Wait, you let the negroes vote? You let women vote? You let people that don’t own property vote?
“How should I bet on the Hamilton-Burr duel?”
gestures vaguely at everything
“What the fuck happened here?”
- Ben Franklin edition
Who are you and how did you get in here?
“How do you control the masses when so many of them can vote?”
The usual stuff, propaganda and outright lies, but the most effective way is through echo chambers…
Just make people able to pick and choose with what communities they want to engage with and soon plenty of people will form self-radicalizing communities.
“why are all these black people not in slavery?”
That’s not the question they would ask. Slaves were considered property, not people. Well, until they became 3/5 of a person. And finally, much later on a full person.
3/5 compromise wasent even about considering them as “mostly” people. It was about how they should be counted as far as a census was concerned, in order to determine the amount of congressional representation for that state. They still had no rights and were fully considered property.
If only Jon brown had been one of the founders.
Oh absolutely. It was the southern whites wanting more power than they are worth.
true, the founders were even worse than I could put into words
And yet, there are people, right now, who idolize that.
yeah, the republican party and every single one of their voters
I think it’s unproductive to treat the founding fathers as a monolith. What Franklin and Hamilton believed was markedly different than the likes of Patrick Henry or Jefferson
A large majority of the founders would disagree

Even during the 3/5th era, they were 0/5ths a person and an extra 3/5th a person to the slave owners who could actually vote. Spoiler alert: the slave owners did not vote with their slave’s best interests in mind.
I think they would say, “what’s this I hear about women voting? and, uh, who was that in the White House from 2012-2020?? was that one of Thomas Jefferson’s grandchildren?”

“What do you mean you might elect a black woman” is probably a big one they’ll be mad about. They weren’t good people
Washington: “Wait, all my slaves are free?!? I can’t just keep moving them every 5 months to keep them from their freedom?”
Personal power, leadership abilities, integrity and morals were much stronger with these people, and in their times in general.
So I think they would ask:
How do you think you can lead a country when you are such a bunch of corrupted whimps?
Interesting take. I presume you’ve never actually read any of the founding father’s treatises.
No, of course not, since I do not live in their corrupted country.
And you should not judge people only according to what they write.
