Jefferson talked the talk but rarely walked the walk.

You have to keep in mind the times in which these were written. To treat them as if they were written today is a mistake which would make anyone of that era seem quite conservative.

J's opposition to games in that quote is indicative of his hatred of competition and conflict and his ungainly and awkward movements. That part of it sounds exactly like the Liberal tendency to avoid such competition.
His alliance with the Clintonians and Burr in New York was the beginning of the use by the DemocRATs of the big city machine-Southern racist coalition which has dominated most of the history of the DemocRATic party.
Jefferson was definitely the forefather of the DemocRATic party and used the Big Lie as often and as manipulatively as the modern RAT. He was anti-Military and anti-pro-American foreign policy and a fanatic wrt the French Revolution even after it became terrorist.
None of the proto-RATs of his party were anti-gun so that part of the quote has nothing to do with anything.
