Frankly, who cares what the founders as slave owning dead men think?

They were right about the first amendment but were wrong about a bunch of other things.

Don’t forget that the first amendment isn’t the only amendment. America didn’t even achieve equitable civil rights until the last half decade or so. Within living memory women weren’t allowed to get bank accounts without spousal consent.

This idea that we should go back to the original ideas thought up before industrialized society was invented is super weird.
