    Fun fact. The people who landed at Plymouth rock had left Europe because their fundamentalist beliefs were being ignored; so they snowflaked out.

      My favorite part is where they fled England because they were persecuted, and then fled the Netherlands because the Netherlands was too tolerant.

      Rather than do any introspection, they opted to sail across the ocean in the hopes of dispossessing some other people of their land, where their fundamentalist beliefs could persecute others.
