    It is true as a historic matter that America's political culture is specifically Anglo-Saxon in origin, but there really is not a good reason to be making that point a political rallying cry in 2021 A.D.

        This is an especially pointless matter to argue given that American progressivism derives its intellectual lineage so heavily from Woodrow Wilson, an Anglo-Saxon reared in the Confederate States of America.

        Really though? “Anglo-Saxon” culture effectively ends in 1066 or within a generation. Magna Carta is a reaction by Normans to an Angevin king. Common law doesn’t develop until Henry II. The only charitable interpretation that makes much sense is that they meant “Anglo-American.”

        This. During certain eras the impact of Norman influence was deliberately downplayed in favor of an imagined Anglo-Saxon "ancient unwritten constitution", mostly to distance Englishness from France. I'm surprised at how effective that myth apparently still is 300+ years later.

        I would say "English" rather than Anglo-Saxon on this specific point, as a matter of history. There are crucial elements from (especially) the West Saxon kings as well as from the Norman kings at the back of the "English constitution" as we inherited & adapted it. And yes.

        Perhaps if you spend your days mindlessly stewing over the idea that the visa lottery is an electoral white replacement scheme, it’s a great time.

        Hang on - it is based on Montesquieu. And has strong Germanic influences. Other than most early members originating from Britain, nothing “specifically” AS about anything in US politics. Which is why it has always been fascinating to us on the other side of the Atlantic.

        One of the key points of our Wokeristocracy is that history is plastic and they can and will burn down whatever they want. For example, baseball.

        The Common Law and the Founder's concept of fundamental liberties wasn't Roman.
