> parliament is supreme and authorized the revolution, it’s a legal strategy

You’re referring to the Trial of King Charles I? That legally wasn’t a revolution, but an act of the sovereign Parliament. (It also didn’t happen in America or in 1776.)

It’s actually quite relevant, given Charles I refused to acknowledge the Commons’ legitimacy. He was executed. And the entire thing is deemed legal.






Yup that’s what I was referring to

Sure. Musk is playing Charles I. The English king who took up arms at the head of a foreign army against his own people and didn’t recognise the legitimacy of an elected government because god said he shouldn’t have to.
