Declaration of Independence Group Chat

July 4, 1776, but make it modern. The Continental Congress has turned into a chaotic 13-colony group chat named “No Taxation Nation”. Thomas Jefferson is furiously typing the ultimate breakup text to King George III – the Declaration of Independence – on a Google Doc while John Adams and Ben Franklin keep spamming the chat with reaction memes (George 🐍 stickers and tea cup emojis galore). Every few minutes, Jefferson has to shoo away John Hancock, who's trying to change the font to Comic Sans “for personality.”

Late night in Philly: Jefferson posts a draft in the group chat, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that 🤦‍♂️ all men are created equal...” Immediately Franklin reacts with a fire emoji and adds, “Can we add something about wig powder tax? 😜” Adams is double-checking that the British are left on read. Meanwhile, Paul Revere is live-tweeting “The British are coming (to read our post)!” just to stir things up.

Come morning, the Declaration is finally copy-edited and uploaded as a dramatic Instagram carousel. The first slide is a bold “Dear George, It's not us, it's you…” and it only gets spicier. King George III sees it, leaves a single angry-face reaction, and promptly gets blocked by admin John Adams. America officially hits “Leave Group,” and the rest is history – or at least the most epic mic-drop in group chat history. #IndependenceDayRemix indeed.
