The Founders and the "Old Revolutionaries" were well-versed in the tactics that the empire used against them. Like this quote, where John Dickinson (the "Penman of the Revolution") writes about divide and conquer in 1767: "To divide and thus to destroy is the first political maxim in attacking those who are powerful by their union. He certainly is not a wise man who folds his arms and reposes himself at home, seeing with unconcern the flames that have invaded his neighbor's house without using any endeavors to extinguish them." #quotes #freespeech #truth #libertarian #politics
