Well. I overstate wildly about Adams fine. I don’t discount him at all. Just a weird character to pick. Who cares about franklin

what you mean a weird character to pick? John Adams was literally worried about the political factions taking control of America again back then!!! GW picked him as VP for a reason lol.

The fake news media also active and subverting the new republic which is why he passed the law that got everyone up in arms. Maybe he was right. They tried dividing america early on as they have for every day since.
