ah, common misperception - "uncultured swine" was the same founders' later attempt at a highly-pasteurized bacon delivery business. also unsuccessful.

What I love about Reddit is that you get these wonderful glimpses into completely sealed epistemic chambers on the same site. If you dropped this screengrab on r/AskHistorians I think it might kill someone. Certainly it would cause several ulcers.

One of the best things about America is that people of any religion (or none) belong here.

Prominent officials say Muslims aren’t?

Wrong. Totally wrong. The Founders and the Bill of Rights and the Statue of Liberty and tons of other great Americans say you’re badly wrong.

Freedom for all. Period.

in other contexts, it's often seen as rude.

If I had a dollar for every person who asks how defense attorneys sleep at night, I’d be able to pay my student loans. If I had a dollar for every person who asks how prosecutors sleep at night, I could maybe buy a pack of gum. Broken society.

I assume it's something like this but with slightly more modern dance moves.
