Real patriots who may resist the intrigues of the favorite are liable to become suspected and odious, while its tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence of the people, to surrender their interests.
Washington still mentions the Patriots after the revolution where nothing really changed right then and there except British inclusion really made me think is there more to what he is trying to say in this farewell message. I think he is still saying America isn't as untied as the thought it would be and should maintain working on it as the years go by to make it better. I'm glad Washington is speaking his mind through this message and what should happen as America continues to grow.
