A shitty admin works with a shitty propaganda machine to produce shitty bullshit.

George Washington would be super happy to see what we’ve become. Sorta like how Jesus would be stoked by the Prosperity Gospel.

(Jesus was not a historical figure. He was originally a figure in heaven. Now let me really blow your mind: Washington also wasn’t a historical figure. He was originally the devil in hell! I’m joking of course, shut up, I need gallows humor to not be depressed by this shit. The bit about Jesus was not a joke, however.)

USA! USA! USA!

      “Many details of?” Sure, but there are near-contemporary accounts of an itinerant preacher by that name who assembled a following and got himself executed. One of things they don’t mention is that this sort of thing was pretty common, specifically apocalyptic preachers in Judea who were not fans of the existing political status quo. Monty Python’s Life of Brian is more correct in its vibes than one might imagine.
