    Fun bit I learned from the skeptics guide to American history: during the lead up to the American revolution king George was actually incredibly popular. Really America owes it’s independence and total separation to the fact that it was largely a proxy war between France and Britain as retribution for the French and Indian war.

    Point being: Americans have always been simps for the royals.

      Well Les Miz isn’t about the cool French Revolution, and in places endorses the idea that the Republicans wanted “too much change”, so that kinda tracks.
