Really depends when you think America was Founded-- if you completely write off the English Civil War & decide America fell from the heavens in 1776 then you can ignore the fact that the Revolutionary consciousness of New England Puritans was forged for centuries prior.
@Logo_Daedalus You’re going to pretend there wasn’t a racial aspect to America’s founding?

New England made the Revolution happen-- the Southerners joined when it became inevitable, & even then reluctantly, only with the proviso that their slaving enterprises wouldn't be immediately abolished. I think the actual founding of America is in the 17th century.

If you look at the revolution itself-- who is the first martyr of the revolution? Crispus Attucks.

There's more of a basis in Christian Evangelism than in some sort of "Race Consciousness" -- the founding of America was more predominantly "Anti-Catholic" than "White Supremacist" -- the Puritans didn't have any racial animus, they thought the Indians were potentially Israelites (& thus, the foreground of Mormon theology).

If anything, the founding of America represents a complete repudiation of "Pan European Racial Unity" or whatever-- that's what Catholicism represented. The Puritans said "No." to that.

That's even why MAGA / populist resistance is explicitly "anti-racist" & primarily "anti-globalist" -- when they say "Communism" what they really mean is "The Globalist Vatican Banks Black Nobility European Elite Vampires Illuminati" type shit.

The only "openly racist white supremacist" types are more like Leftists than like the average MAGA conservative guy. Which is to say, a combination of lumpen, from either prison gang anarchist culture or edge lord ex-academics. Most of the white supremacists I've talked to are former left-anarchists. The others are just peculiar sorts of think tank neocons.

This is also why white nationalists are considered "Feds" by MAGA guys-- they see white nationalists & white supremacists as opportunists & saboteurs trying to make them look bad. Actual MAGA guys are "big tent" populists who even have their own "based gays" & "based blacks" etc which is why the white nationalists have disavowed MAGA at this point. Nick Fuentes just endorsed AOC over Trump lmao
