That’s amusing consider Jefferson was probably one of the more liberal and intellectual leaders of his day.. Why the left would try to destroy him is dubious.
Jefferson WAS a liberal in his day. Liberal then meant a break with the monarchical ruling class to self government by and for the people as well as an interest in furthering humanity through science. Conservatives today are trying to conserve that sentiment. Today’s liberals co-opted the term liberal (when it still had an honorable meaning)...so that now the meaning of “liberal” and “conservative” in the American political sense have switched definitions from Jefferson’s time.
