9am and the first thing I see on Lemmy is Ben Franklin's O face.

I'm not sure why this is supposed to be some kind of valid argument to someone.
People are running around comparatively naked, glowing bricks and boxes are everywhere babbling constantly. You can't drink the water in streams even if you boil it. Cars and planes and helicopters are all over. Women and people who aren't just land holding white men can participate in the government.
No shit they'd be horrified.

He's objectively wrong anyway.
He clearly doesn't know shit about our political history. We've done super shady shit since the beginning.
In fact the shit that's happening now isn't even new. It is so eerily similar to the shenanigans leading up to the civil war.
Ben Franklin was shagging French women for years. He also politically assassinated John Adams's French diplomat assignment. Got him kicked out of Paris so he could keep shagging French women alongside Jefferson.

I do think they’d be genuinely horrified at the power of the federal government, since that seemed to be a major concern for them.

If you’re talking politically, then I agree 100%, like you said, we’ve done terrible shit in this country from before day one.
If I’m thinking literally though, 250 years have passed, including the start of Industrial Revolution. They would have no idea what anything was or what was going on, just like what would happen if someone today was transported that far in the future. That’s why I always think this argument is stupid.

Oh, what idiotic excuses they create just to quickly establish total control in order to retain their power. Although because of f****** China I'm afraid it's inevitable.
