As the Americans gear up for their annual celebration of their sedition and rebellion against their lawful King...GSTQ 🇬🇧👑💂
Good morning all & on this 4th of July, I am thinking, as I always do on this particular day, of LtCol John Connolly of Pennsylvania and Ensign James Connolly, Tory Loyalists, who fought for the Crown against the seditious American rebels. God Save The Queen! 🇬🇧👑💂

Whilst all Tories, rightly, decry the American rebellion, the capacity of modern American liberalism for the most bonkers Maoist self hatred really is unsurpassed. This is actual Soviet-level agitprop
To be fair to the Americans, as much as I hack on republics, obviously fairly, the Americans did create one of the few republics that people actually flee towards, and not from....especially when compared to 'people's republics' and 'people's democratic republics'.
TBC: the (overwhelmingly protestant) American rebellion was made possible only because of the enormous military support of the (Catholic) French & Spanish Kingdoms. Otherwise the American founders would have been hanged as seditionists against & traitors to their lawful King.
The Papacy was pro-Habsburg & pro-Hanoverian....it was always anti-French. So, during the American Revolt, the Papacy was neutral but not unhappy with a British North America that protected Catholic missions. The British Crown needed to raise armies from the (RC) Scots & Irish
