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
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
Wait, you let the negroes vote? You let women vote? You let people that don’t own property vote?
“why are all these black people not in slavery?”
gestures vaguely at everything
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.
“How should I bet on the Hamilton-Burr duel?”
“What the fuck happened here?”

Who are you and how did you get in here?
“How do you control the masses when so many of them can vote?”
Turns out, the Electoral College can actually do the opposite of what it was intended for!
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.
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?
Personal power, leadership abilities, integrity and morals were much stronger with these people, and in their times in general.
There’s just no reason at all to think this. Most obviously, people who signed their names to the idea ‘all men were created equal’ while themselves owning slaves quite obviously did not possess a high degree of moral integrity.
More a different definition of “men”.
True, but one that conveniently allowed them to do what they were already doing anyway. As I say: not titans of moral probity.
while themselves owning slaves
I did not say that it was good morals (from today’s point of view: most of what they did was actually criminal). I said strong ones.
Having strong morals is mutually exclusive with compromising your morals to enrich yourself, which we’ve established is something they did.

could this have been a tree they planted knowing they would not live to see fruit?
That may explain why they didn’t abolish slavery, but does not justify the fact that they themselves owned slaves.
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.
