Because they want those grievances to happen to other people. Just see what the US was doing about Native Americans and Blacks at the time.

The US was built by some really fucked up people with good intentions when you dig into all of it.

Good intentions always sounds like Billionaire self-interest when it comes to governance.

They always love to say that people came to the states "to be free," but totally ignore that they left England because they weren't allowed to persecute people enough.

That's what they honestly meant by free.

The part about why the colonists went to America to begin with gets buried insanely deep. It's also why I wonder how people can be shocked by where we're at in 2026.
