BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

I appreciate this framing.
Jefferson saw life as a conflict between the few and the many. And he cast his Republican Party as for "the many," though in the central moral issue of his time, he clearly was of the few.
The conflict now:
It's "I've got your back" (freedom) v. "Watch your back" (fascism).
