Oh for fuck's sake.WAS THOMAS JEFFERSON A PAULTARD? “Jefferson developed a full-blooded conspiracy theory in which bankers, speculators, federal officeholders, and a small but powerful congregation of closet Tories permanently alienated from the agrarian majority (’They all live in Cities,’ he wrote) had captured the meaning of the Revolution and were now proceeding to strangle it to death behind the closed doors of investment houses and within the faraway corridors of the Federalist government in New York and Philadelphia.” [Founding Brothers, by Joseph J. Ellis]
