"When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty." Thomas Jefferson
He didn't ever say that, actually. It was likely first said by an activist in New Zealand https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/jefferson-injustice-resistance-quote/
Okay, but he also said "My 14 year old half-sister looks even better naked". So...
Oh boy, an ad hominem fallacy in the wild, it's been a whole 5 seconds since I saw one!
Shut up dork, those are debate club's words and you haven't earned the right
The Founding Fathers fetishism so casually overrides peoples' disgust for incest and pedophilia.
It's genuinely depressing. America is a failed state.
Not incest. She was his wife's half-sister, not his.
But that's okay, whatever little bit of disgust that saved should be made up for by the fact she was their slave.
It's extra depressing because these fucking stupid CHUDs licking slaver boot don't seem to know that Jefferson never said or wrote that quote.
"You can't believe everything you read on the Internet."
-Mark Twain
It was actually Samuel Clemens who said that.
