John Adams was a scoundrel. He actually made government opposition ILLEGAL for his re-election. Can you believe that shit? I made a thread on it a while back.. Made me question a lot about America..Since George Washington, elections have been nastyThe precedent has been set, now. We can now blame all 8 years of failure on the predecessor.Do you not feel exhilarated and happy as of this moment? Hasn't watching Trump inch his way forward for the past sixteen months been good for you? Enjoy it. He's going to ruin this country, but I'm sure you'll find a way to blame it on Obama.You call this a joy ride? It's been eight years of misery.Enjoy it while you can, because once Trump takes the reigns, the joy ride is over. Believe me.
BBBBBBBBUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
BTW, the other option will further ruin this country as well. Probably more so. Trump is all assumption, HRC is proven failure.
5. Adams participated in what may have been the nastiest presidential campaign in American history.
Modern-day mudslinging had nothing on the dirt thrown in the 1800 presidential election between Adams and the sitting vice president, Thomas Jefferson. While the Federalist Adams believed in a strong centralized government and the Republican Jefferson favored states’ rights, the debate went beyond policy differences to personal attacks. Campaign propaganda paid for by Jefferson charged that Adams was a “hideous hermaphroditical character” who smuggled prostitutes into the country from England and planned to marry one of his sons to a daughter of King George III to establish a royal bloodline in his family. The president’s supporters called Jefferson a coward, French radical and infidel who would seize the country’s bibles and allow “the refuse of Europe” to flood American shores. Abigail Adams lamented that the campaign had produced enough venom to “ruin and corrupt the minds and morals of the best people in the world.”
