He was one of the few guys Hamilton actually got fairly right. Guy was basically one of the reasons we won our war, he hated England, was a brilliant leader, and is beloved here especially in formerly French parts of America, hence so much Cajun stuff named for him. I myself grew up in Lafayette so I've always had an interest in him.

In france he was a bit more...complex he was the dude who was the commander in chief of the french national guard and founded Society of 1789 with Bailly. He was basically the leader of the moderate voices in the revolution in a time when 'moderate' was 'maybe we don't need to shoot the queen in front of her children'.

He lost the public when his men (not on his orders) gunned down protesters. When the constitution was made his first act was to resign as commander in chief but it's pretty impossible to recover from 'the guy who was seen as a man who wanted to avoid bloodshed led the guard when they gunned us down for the sin of protesting'.

He went on to be a general during the war with Austria but hilariously a ton of his men were Jacobins and those guys were mad salty that they had to listen to basically anyone because those people were lunatics, so he had to constantly deal with that in the most hilarious bit of history repeating during that period for France.

Unfortunately at that time when he was saying 'hey maybe these guys who just kinda wanna burn everything down are loving insane' that was also the time when the radicals were coming to power in France, so that didn't end well. He called for moderates to oppose them but Robespierre called him a traitor and that was basically all that the crowd needed. Dude got a warrant for his arrest when the royals got got and he fled to contested lands and arrested by Austrians.

He was a prisoner for a long time, he tried to reach Napoleon for a negotiation but the dude said only if Lafayette swore loyalty to him in return. Lafayette said 'that's literally what I spent my life fighting against you goon' so Napoleon did Napoleon stuff and had every bit of property he owned sold so that even when Lafayette got out he'd be a pauper. That'll teach him to say Napoleon is a petty tyrant!

When he was out he spent his last stage of life enjoying his beloved status in America. He had a nice big tour of America and even opened his home up to travelling Americans who wanted to meet him and all. Dude loved America and it's kinda a genuinely sweet story that he at least had one place he could consider welcoming to him.

The dude very much was not a royalist, he very much wanted the people to have dignity and equality. The Society of 1789 was fairly conservative, wanting to remain a constitutional monarchy rather than a full on republic. You can talk all you want about the pros and cons and frankly I disagree with his idea that the monarchy NEEDED to be preserved as a national symbol but you can look to a lot of places for an example where you have a nation maintain its monarchy while allowing progressive voices to rise. I think at his core he was a fairly good man. He was a big part of the Bourbon Restoration and even did things like trying to allow Napoleon to serve his exile in America as a compromise even after he got his poo poo wrecked for failing to suck the imperial cock.

The man was one of the writers of The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, and when that failed to properly address slavery he wrote tons of letters explicitly saying "YO SLAVERY IS hosed UP, THIS IS ME BIG DADDY LAFAYETTE TELLING YOU SLAVERY IS NOT COOL". He was a complex character in history but I think overall history looks kindly on him as an American hero and a man with noble intent if rather weak resolve at times in France

Bumbling Homer, housewife Marge, troublemaker Bart, prodigy Lisa and baby Maggie, who have captured the changing face of America over 28 years, become “The Serfsons” in the season 29 premiere on Fox on Sunday.

In 2000, “The Simpsons” joked in an episode titled “Bart to the Future” that Trump would enter the White House and said his presidency would ruin the economy.

But executive producer Matt Selman said the daily show, which takes more than a year to produce each season, cannot keep up with jokes about Trump since he won the 2016 election.

“There’s a massive industry of nothing but Trump comedy,” he said in an interview. “We can’t beat them to the punch. We can only show how Trump’s America has sadly seeped its way into Springfield.”

For the new series, the family live in a feudal medieval society where goblins, ogres and dragons exist, 8-year-old Lisa Simpson can do magic and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau from “Game of Thrones” plays Marge’s horny twin brother.
