this bastard (affectionate) asked me which founding father i liked best, and then proceeded to raise his eyebrow, look me dead in the eye and say "that's such a basic answer. hamilton is everyone's fav." sat there stunned. why am i being judged for my fav founding father again? the fact that you paint yourself as superior to me for liking a more obscure founding father? that's the worst PR i have ever seen. nerdiest of nerd behavior.

and what's worse is that i almost defended myself with "i grew to like him independent of the musical actually" 💀. saved my dignity at the last moment.

#humiliating for both of us #two nerds yapping at each other about how “mainstream” alexander hamilton is #i can't help it #i know it's a basic answer but come on!#the man has such a compelling life and personality in the best and worst ways possible #i'm sorry but thomas jefferson you are my enemy #once again #all these men are problematic but there's something about jefferson that makes my eye twitch #if there are any jefferson enthusiasts reading this i'm in no way judging!#we're all in the same boat here #but i can't help it all the same #historical hamilton #amrev
