absurdistwords:So I translated the Declaration of Independence into plain English. Ironically, Most people don't recognize it. But many feel it "speaks to them".A number of people have remarked that it's really staggering to see all of Trump's bad acts itemized and listed together. What's amazing is that I just copied all the original charges against the King. Barely had to adjust anything.
Previously, previously, previously, previously, previously, previously, previously, previously.
The excepted text isn't in the linked-to webpage, which doesn't seem like a modern-English declaration.
Much confused.
The hook comes from the introductory tweet: https://twitter.com/absurdistwords/status/1309116648763387905.
K3n.
Thanks. But false advertising, I think; very little to do with the actual historical Declaration, just a way of getting clicks. Charges against an absent king, perhaps.
Maybe you should read them side by side.
Paralleling cops with "merciless Indian Savages" is a lot to unpack.
The really really FUNNY part is that NONE of those complaints were anything to do with King George
NONE AT ALL!
King George could set the palace menus and select the wallpaper - and that is about all!
The Colonists were rebelling against Parliament - the MOST democratic government of the time and at least as "democratic" (I would say more) than the government the rebels set up afterwards
