It gets to turn a man who owned slaves and dedicated his life to opposing democracy into an immigrant (they love to call him an immigrant, how progressive of him to move from the British West Indies to a different colony) entrepreneur living the American dream.
they love that they can reclaim the founding fathers from conservatives, pointing out that the feudal lords that founded the country loved civility and norms will totally own the trumpers
I mean thats what an immigrant is. Its not really meant to imply progressivism either. What weirdo associates immigrating with being progressive?
