We need to make pamphlets to hand out to soldiers that outline exactly how George Washington went from being a key leader and ally of the British crown, until they overstepped their authority and he led a rebellion that defeated the monarchy, became the first US president, an American hero, and rich as fuck.

The fact that he didn't invoke it today ( Oct 19, 2025 ), suggests that he's planning something bigger, worse, in the near future.

It's the same as telling a child "if you resist eating that marshmallow for 3 minutes, you can have 2", right?

He resisted the easy-power-grab, but .. for what alternative did he resist it?

that there is something brewing, is obvious, but that it is sufficiently worse that he would forego the Saturday Insurrection-Act highjacking .. that is worrisome.
