Dinesh D’Souza, the filmmaker behind 2016: Obama’s America who is out on $500,000 bond for allegedly violating campaign finance laws, was at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington on Friday to unveil a new trailer for his upcoming release, America, a movie that imagines the United States lost the Revolutionary War so therefore never existed.

I shutter to think what this world would be without courageous men like Washington! The girly boy in the WH now is doing all he can to create such a world.
Half the peeps on FR would have the nazi drug death squads kicking in his door, and shooting Martha and the dog because he grew cannabis.
Sounds like it should have been a Harry Turtledove novel!
You mean that Washington grew pot? You got to be kidding me!
I like alternate history, so I’ll be seeing it. Help the man get some of his bond money back from some trumped up charges from the Obama Administration.
Careful, Mr hyperbole.
His account was banned. He must have been a troll.
The world would be worse off if America never existed.
Washington was the GREATEST American ever. HE made the Revolution, HE was the Revolution and HE birthed America, not once but three times - when the WON the war, when he WALKED AWAY from being a King and when he was elected the FIRST President and created the office now stained by the foulest demon in American History.
“... a movie that imagines the United States lost the Revolutionary War so therefore never existed.”
That would be a leftist’s wet dream.
Good that he was banned if he was a troll.
He grew hemp for its strong fiber in textiles. A lot of folks did.
D’Souza is one of us. I’m sure it has a powerful message.
Only if he was torturing, murdering and raping while in the course of developing his business.
Legalize, sure, change the law first then use. Before then, you are funding some of the most cruel people that kill not only their competitors (no big deal), but also attack and sometimes kill Border Patrol Agents.
Patrick Ferguson had George Washington in his sights but decided not to shoot. He later was shot in the battle of King’s Mountain.
Hemp, Washington grew hemp, which was used to make rope.
RE: I like alternate history, so I’ll be seeing it.
I hope this is better than Abraham Lincoln being a Vampire Slayer...
Except you won’t hear the same exact dialog being used over and over and over again!
As much as I love Alt history, I still feel my stomach drop when the scenario has something to do with America being adversely affected in some way.
I will totally watch this on DVD, but I think I’ll skip the part with Washington getting killed.
That movie was so BAD it almost became good.
But the fight scene on horse back was awesome. I LMAO
Don’t know how the movie will handle this hypothetical. However, here are some predictions I think reasonable had we lost the Revolutionary War.
North America would still have been settled by Europeans dominated by British culture. IOW, a really large Canada.
At some point during the later 19th century, the center of gravity of the Empire would have shifted to North America.
Without the salutary effect of losing the war, there may have been greater resistance by the British to allowing Dominion status or equivalent to “the colonies.” Which might very well have meant another whack at Revolution.
Indians would have been treated, at least initially, less harshly than by the USA.
There would have been no Civil War. Correlation of forces against South too great with Canada and UK added in. Compensated emancipation for the slaves.
British Empire might never have conquered India. Energies diverted to nearer and more profitable North America.
There are much worse fates than being a really large Canada or Australia.
