We have as much right to lay claim to Patriot heritage as we do on being Vikings.
The founders would feed us to thier pigs.
My ancestors were Green Mountain Boys.
They’re spinning.
A lot of us do have some Viking ancestors.
Remember, it was estimated of the Revolutionary War that about 1/3 of Americans were patriots, 1/3 loyalists to Britain and 1/3 "undecided".
That seems to be just about where we are today -- for "loyalists" think Democrats, media, academia, etc.
For "undecided" think persuadable, given good leadership from our patriots.
Hard-core patriots were never that many, it was often a very close-fought battle, we didn't win them all.
About like today.
