The problem is that the Amerikkkan narrative requires seeing the “Founding Fathers” as a singular building block of the country rather than as individuals, so we get these broken logics of “if we find some good in one of them then it applies to the whole.” It’s sort of a mirror version of the logic behind the “constitutional originalism” law argument.
Oh, I'd say it's much worse than that. I guarantee a significant chunk of grown-ass USian adults still believe stuff like George Washington never told a lie. You'd be hard pressed to find a USian that knows actual US history vs the cradle to grave mythological slop that's poured down their throats.
George Washington cut down that cherry tree and Henry Ford invented the automobile.
Stahp!
