2. I wonder...

if coming out of winning a revolution for liberty, going thru the fiasco of the Articles of Confederation, and finally writing the Declaration of Independence AND the Constitution... I wonder if the "Founding Fathers" were still high from their victories and not really able to think seriously about those internal enemies they gave lip service about. Either that, or it was such a time of innocence that nobody could possibly conceive of anyone like Trump, Musk, or the rest of the repuglican party actually trying to take the country back to the time BEFORE they won Independence. Something has to account for all this mess... and I can't help but think Franklin, as worldly as he was, wouldn't have raised the issue most vociferously.
