French kick ass and we could learn from them the way they get shit done (aka riot).

But from like a distance because French people are kinda mean. And they know it and don't care.

Tbf it was mostly done just to spite the British.

are there better reasons to get shit done?

Of course! To spite the french!

you make a valid point

It wasn't the French assisting the Americans against the British. It was the French assisting a rebellion started by some British colonists against the British government. In other words, they didn't really care about why the rebels were rebelling, they didn't even consider them to really be anything other than British, but they were willing to fight the British government, and that was good enough for France.

Hey, the enemy of my enemy is my friend

The French have also historically been pretty good at revolutions against the aristocracy. The U.S. could do with a lesson there rn.

As a native American with a French last name, I can comfortably say fuck all the French, fuck their ancestors, and fuck their future generations for enriching themselves on the wealth of my people.

Every last fucking french sack of shit doesn't deserve the oxygen the Earth was kind enough to produce.

Uh, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say disgust and hatred at past actions is legitimate, but no one is born a criminal or a thief. Please avoid seemingly serious statements about entire demographics being undeserving of life on this comm.

Good guy Louis XVI accidentally bringing democracy to both sides of the Atlantic

So ultimately we can blame the French for Trump, got it

From the French, America was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

Don't Panic

Non non non, that's your own mess!

And clearly that isn't something to be proud of.

We've had good moments and bad.

... admittedly, not a fantastic time to claim credit for the USA at the moment.
