I love you Thom. But this summary of John Adams is sadly lacking and one- sided. Your comparison with today’s events a bit of a stretch. Deification of Jefferson, not a word about slavery and TJ’s attitudes. Also, Jefferson had no problem with state (VA) sedition laws.

So here we go with the false equivocation BS. Sure, Jefferson was a slave owner and an unrepentant one at that.

The issue here is the defense of free speech as it relates to the powerful.

I’ll do the research on TJ and VA sedition laws and will return.
