I don't understand the fetishisation of the US "founding fathers". What does it matter what a bunch of people who lived 200 years ago thought and wanted and how they would feel about today's version of that? Considering some of the things that were normal in their time, like slavery, the subservient role of women in society, power only in the aristocracy or rich people ( even the "bastion of democracy" US wasn't a popular democracy where everyone had a vote until after WWI), segregation, etc. of course they'd disagree. And so would Louis XVI, Franz Josef, Queen Victoria, Hitler, etc.. so what?
Who cares what those people would theoretically think and why?
