Madison, 1792: government must use "the silent operation of laws" to "reduce extreme wealth towards mediocrity, and raise extreme indigence towards comfort." The Father of the Constitution. Not a radical. Not a socialist. A Founder. #TrueAmericanism
I wrote a thing.
It's called "True Americanism."
It's free, it's short, and it might piss off everyone equally.

I used to sit in militia meetings. I marched with the Patriot movement. I voted for Pat Buchanan. Then I re-read what the Founders had said. What I found changed everything.

Leaders of this country should have calluses on their hands instead of their hearts.

Conservatives keep calling economic justice "socialism."
But John Adams said government should commuicate "ease, comfort & security." Paine said concentrated wealth creates social debt.
These are founding principles, not foreign ideology. Sometimes the best argument is their own.

#TrueAmericanism โ not the behavior we see today in #ElonVonNudnick, #CadhlessPathotel, #RussellWoofWoofNoVote, #ScottCharminBessAnt & #SOFI
When disaster strikes, True Americans don't check party affiliations before helping neighbors. We don't extort our fellow citizens in need. These trying times SHOULD remind us who we really are - a people bound by shared values and mutual trust, not divided by politics or profit. #TrueAmericanism"
