We can "name the game" all we like with these candidates, but what makes the game possible is the collective public's willingness and eagerness to believe a lie.

I'm not so sure about the motivations of our founding fathers. There are other versions of that story that lead straight to where we are now.

Agreed but for one point, the "noble goal" of the founding fathers...you gotta be kidding!

Understood, although to be clear, the US was founded on a "noble concept" - not relying on an individual's "noble goals."

Well if you start with a genocide, your "noble concept" is wobbly at conception. Just check Palestine right now and see the path it leads you down...by the way my wife is from Tasmania, the only genocide which truly reached its goal. but it was small scale and communications were not all that good at the time. Now we scale up and go global. Economies of scale... Thank you America!
