George Washington Meme: What If He Spoke More Like We Do Today?
Two hundred fifty years ago he started leading the Continental Army

We all know he WAS pretty badass. But what if he talked like one too, in the modern sense?
Coming home with bullet holes in your jacket and the confidence that the Providence of God was saving him for a future purpose scores pretty high on the badass scale.
But having him talk into the camera during key scenes in the War of Independence like he’s a modern live streamer narrating his exploits?
You could say that it ‘hits different’.
