So you don’t believe that George Washington owned slaves? Talk about making up a reality in your head.
You were indoctrinated from a young age to believe in the myth of the Founding Fathers. Everything you heard in school, all the the monuments, the faces printed on your currency all reinforce your beliefs. So I understand that it’s not easy to accept that these guys were the Elon Musks and Donald Trumps of their times. But it’s not some dead slave masters that guarantee your rights. This mentality results in apathy and taking rights for granted which made the US susceptible to fascism. Mythologizing a false past leads to people wanting to go back to that false past.
I wouldn’t go so far as to say MAGA is about wanting to go back to full on slavery, but there is a feeling there that people of certain ethnicities should “know their place”. And people certainly “knew their place” when the Founding Fathers were running things didn’t they?
You sir, are entirely divorced from reality. It would be best for you to stop replying to the straw man you made up in your head and reconsider this entire exchange.
I guess the world can be whatever you want when you just make up reality in your head.
Good luck with that.

Which of these isn’t real?
You keep saying I’m divorced from reality, but which of these things do you think isn’t real?
