Are you talking about the people protesting against being denied democratic representation and self-determination by an autocratic monarch, or against the people sore about losing an election they tried to rig numerous times and after the winning candidate survived multiple assassination attempts?

im pretty sure sam adams had 2 or 3x the intelligence of modern trumpers, he was objective enough to rise beyond the fuckfest of trump tribalism
