Europe doesn’t want any of it. We had it before and look at the mess that come of it.

Canada can have it

We definitely don't want Florida

This scene was so ahead of its time

There's a lot to love about Florida, especially once you get rid of the Floridians.

Isnt this the place where we deliberately dumped a bunch of asshats who thought medieval european christianity wasnt hardcore and repressive enough? In hindsight that was probably a bad idea.

Funny enough those weirdos were welcomed in rather generously by the Netherlands who wanted to provide refuge.
But the fact that they were so open and not prejudiced enough disgusted the Quakers who tried desperately to shame them with Preaching Tours™ until the Quakers decided to leave entirely.

They were always gonna be like this.

You may be conflating the quakers with a different religious group.
While still a religious group, the quakers are largely one of the most accepting. They were initially given trouble by the Dutch. Their numbers have never really been high enough to have the type of social sway that you're thinking.

Maybe you're thinking the puritans or pilgrims? They're the ones who kinda took over. Shame, inherent sin and all that.
The quakers are the pacifist abolitionists who think church should be a group of people quietly thinking in someone's home until someone feels moved to share an idea.

While it would be better if our country was less religiously locked in, I'm pretty sure if it was the quakers that rose to prevalence we'd be way better off, even if only from the "not my job to enforce your morality" part.

No, it was mainly populated by hosers who didn't want to pay taxes.

For real, people keep forgetting where the USA comes from...
