If you grew up in the US I'd like to demand the resignation of whatever American history professor you had growing up.
"Mad they had to pay taxes" completely obfuscates (probably in bad faith) the fact that colonists had no say in what that taxation went toward, and the people who _did_ lived thousands of miles away before any real communication infra even existed. It's right there in the name. The way you speak about "conspiracy theory farmers" reveals your real agenda, which is to push narrative-snark bemoaning the origins of our country (even if it's at the expense of the historical truth).
