Let's Talk About the Presidents- Thomas Jefferson

Personal opinion based ranking (1 meaning burn the man, 5 being complete indifference, 10 being still awful but could be a lot worse): 

4. I know it feels repetitive, but hear me out. I consider Thomas Jefferson to be on the same level as John Adams. I have heard a lot of positive things about him—people tend to admire him for being an academic and a renaissance man—but he was also historically racist and just an all around asshole. He was the other side of the rivalry that I mentioned in the last article; he and John Adams hated each other. Granted, his side of the rivalry was a lot less interesting as Adams refused to go to Jefferson’s inauguration and his dying words were used to scorn him, but still. I almost placed him at a 3, because not only is he an asshole, he isn’t even as interesting as some of the other assholes that have run this country, but I figured that would be a petty thing to put him down for.
