Voters are not just sick of Trump, they are sick of his supporters

64. Tavern rats.

I really hate that 3% bullshit. The rubes heard a number they barely understand and latched on to it, with no appreciation for the complexities of the American Revolution. There's really no way of telling how many served the American cause. They came and they went. Some were continentals for a time, then left to become militia and visa versa. And huge swaths of the male populace belonged to colonial militia units of various sorts. Some of them were involved in active fighting off and on. Some were not. So, basing their claim simply on pension applications divided by some estimate of colonial population shows what simpletons these people really are. And it wasn't active colonials who decided the damn thing. It was significant French help and political pressure in London to end the money drain. The most powerful empire the world had ever seen at that time could have crushed us as easily as we could have turned North Vietnam into a treeless plain. But at what cost and to what end?
