Definitely agree with a lot of the prior comments. He said some good things in the Revolutionary period and I guess you could give him credit for accepting his defeat to Jefferson which had little historical precedent at the time, but overall I'm really not a fan. Some people are positively comparing him to Trump here with the election stuff, but Trump never did anything remotely close to the Alien and Sedition Acts which it is thankfully impossible to imagine happening in modern America, even in the aftermath of a national crisis like 9/11.

I know red avs like to dunk on Jefferson a lot but you should be glad he won the war over Adams and Hamilton.
