Which group of people today would be most like our forefathers?
I know Republicans of today just assume it would be white farmers and white coal miners and white laborers and those are the people that started this country.
But if you actually go through the people involved at the time, you would find them to be what passed as the wealthy, the elite, scientists, and so on.
No farmer today could actually write the Declaration of Independence or the Bill of Rights or the Constitution or any of the documents this country is founded on.
Those had to be written by seasoned and professional lawyers and intellectuals.
Today, what we call “liberals”.
