See, the joke is that modern conservatives would have supported the British control of the American colonies.
Which holds significant merit as during the war for independence, the most conservative families were Monarchists which insisted we return to British rule.
Several of those Monarchist families today make significant parts of the republican leadership.
Someone on that boat most certainly wouldn't say "just obey the kings laws" or "redcoat lives matter"
They were literally, at that moment, on the way to fight redcoats and hessians
I don't think the person choosing the image for the meme cared, and just wanted a composition of historical founding father significance and enough people for the speech bubbles.
You are letting your accurate knowledge of history get in the way of appreciating a political shitpost. Consider that.
Thank you for your comment. Of everything I read, this is the most sane response. It's a shitpost to send a specific message.
