Wow, my point went WAY over your head. Lay off the sauce, boss.
Your "point" was completely absurd.
The Federalist Papers outline the need for the Constitution, outline the need for the separation of the powers of the States, outline the dangers of foreign influences in American politics, and outline the need for the ratification of the Constitution as it was written.
The Federalist Papers do NOT outline a Federal Government that owns 27% of all US land, what the federalist papers do NOT outline is one city (DC) taxing and utilizing a third of the GDP of the entire nation for it's own personal enrichment. What the Federalist Papers do NOT outline is the federal government dictating how the States utilize their own natural resources to best suit their citizens.
Nowhere does the Federalist Papers outline the President as a "king". Nowhere does the Federalist Papers outline the role of the Federal Government as the arbiter of day to day life for the citizens of the various states. The Federalist Papers were newspaper articles designed to convince the States that it was in their best interest to ratify the Constitution, as it was written, in order to defend against foreign interests overtaking the American good, as they clearly had under British Rule.
Meanwhile, Biden has shut down any new drilling in Alaska. By what powers? Dunno! They aren't outlined in either the federalist papers or the constitution. Meanwhile, the federal government has stolen $54 Billion from US citizens to provide "aid" to Ukraine this year alone, a nation that since it's revolution in 2014 has spent a total of ~$24 billion on it's own national defense. Meanwhile, more and more states are being banned from drilling or fracking their own resources to provide energy and jobs to their citizens, and the only carbon neutral forms of transportation for these energy sources, you know, pipelines? Are also being shut down. All while the federal government turns to the socialist dictatorship hellhole of Venezuela and begs them to sell us a resource we have in plenty. There are government officials who are confirmed to have had affairs with foreign spies, our current sitting President and his son was under investigation for corruption in Ukraine, and that same sitting President usurped the roles of both Congress and the then sitting President by threatening to withhold a billion in aid that had already been approved by both the Congress and the President if they did not fire the prosecutor conducting the investigation.
The list of reasons to criticize both the Federal Government in it's current form, as well as Biden and his administration is nearly endless, and the Federalist Papers provide an excellent backbone for that criticism, in pointing out how the Federal Government is USURPING the rights of the states and turning the people of the States into the serfs of the federal government. The very idea that you would reference them says that you neither understand them, nor have read them.
Sit down, shut up, and read them, or piss off, kiddo.
https://guides.loc.gov/federalist-papers/full-textThe fact is, you should be MAKING these topics, not poo pooing them. Because topics like these help to distract from the fact that the federal government as it is today is a much greater threat to the States and the People of the US than Britain ever was, and when people focus on minor bullshit, they're less likely to put two and two together and say, "Wait a minute, these people aren't my friend, they're trying to set themselves up as my Monarch, who are entitled to all of my shit, and responsible to provide exactly zero in return."
