I'm quoting this to make the point that there are two distinct views of American history and the purpose of government.
One (Jefferson's) is decidedly anti-democratic. He was, after all, an unrepentant enslaver (I know he made noise about the evils of slavery but actions speak louder).
The other side is democratic.
The anti-democratic side is entrenched in our history and isn't going away.
