    There’s the difference, like our maga red hats are a loud insane minority. Otherwise, we literally wouldn’t exist as a nation without the French providing gold and ships just to give England a “fuck you,” and they have been winning wars since before America was a country.

      Honestly think the French hate was/is a psychops.

      If you was rich and in power and wanted to maintain control would you really want your people to like the country that is known for killing the rich and powerful?
