Have you ever heard the Declaration of Independence read out loud?
You should. It’s the greatest break-up letter ever written.
At just 33 years old, Thomas Jefferson, with cold moral clarity, told the British government to pound sand:
“Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends [life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness], it is the Right of the People to alter or to ABOLISH it.”
The power of that line isn’t just what it says. It’s how it’s said.
Jefferson wasn’t writing from a place of outrage. He was transmitting conviction — moral clarity delivered from a steady frame of mind.
It’s said Jefferson revised the Declaration of Independence with the help of Franklin and Adams dozens of times before it was finalized.
And that deliberate, cutting language paired with emotional steadiness is precisely why the words still land nearly 250 years later. 🧵
@thedrivenman This how stupid woman are. They tell you they want to move but if you don’t cry over it, it’s now your fault. Shit makes no sense, but I guess this world has lost its sense anyway. 🤦♂️
@elonmusk@elonmusk this is why we need a petition page! This shit will never end if we don’t do something now. Instead of stopping crooked politicians and fraud, they want to raise taxes instead. It’ll be Civil War before long. This is bullshit!!!
"Slaves owned by the pharaoh of Egypt were required to pay him 20% of their income."
"Fast forward to 2025. The average U.S. taxpayer pays 24.8% tax."
"On top of this, you pay sales tax, property tax, gas tax, and many other taxes."
"The slaves in Egypt were doing better than we're being taxed."
"Wake up, America. You're being robbed, you're being cheated, and you're being lied to."
@elonmusk@elonmusk X needs a petition page where we can all petition our local/state or federal government for whatever the case may be. This would make it much easier for all of us to sign and actually get some sort of head wind when it comes to making changes we agree on.
