if you want an actual "awww" moment in american liberal history, the saga of Adams and Jefferson's friendship, then emnity, then in their twilight years friendship again, is quite good

complete with Adams occasionally writing to Jefferson "you know we fought like hell over xyz thing, do you honestly still believe any of what you wrote, because I still think you're wrong" and Jefferson, the significantly better diplomat, responding "look man at this point we are two old men yelling about what we wish would have happened. it doesn't really matter. have you seen the efforts they've made at writing history about us already? nighmares."

there is a line that particularly seems designed to make any historian reading it immediately get a half-chub, where they're discussing "who, then, will write the history of the American Revolution" and the answer they settle on is "none living now, I'll wager. We were there, and still cannot know the half of it."

The actual best founding fathers letters are the ones to/from Lafayette, because he was the only actual purestrain believer in liberalism and enlightenment principals so he just kept writing over and over with "hey so when are you guys finally gonna get rid of the whole slaves thing, that's really bad and of course I'm sure you also know it's really bad since we're all such liberal enlightened thinkers, seems totally incongruous with everything we stand for that the US still practices slavery" and then Washington or Adams or whoever would write back really handwringey replies about how "oh yest of course but you see now's just not the time and also you just don't understand kiddo" from their gigantic chattel slave plantations.

Actually John Adams never owned slaves, and seemed pretty morally upright for a 1700’s guy. He was probably one of the better founding fathers.

Jefferson was a total monster though. Monticello was basically Craster’s Keep. People would be able to identify his runaway slaves because they looked like him.

Adams' position on slavery was a far more recognizably liberal one to us here today: "i hate slavery, i hate slavers, and I agree it's really bad that our best friends and allies are all in on raping the help in the name of producing more of the help. if i had a magic wand i'd wave it and it would be gone but have you considered opposing them would just be really inconvenient for us r/n"

made particularly funny by when the Sally Hemings story breaks, him publicly proclaiming that of course he would never believe such an awful thing about his esteemed opponent Mr. Jefferson, and then privately writing to some friends "oh yeah i don't doubt the story's accuracy for a second. Jefferson kept her around wherever he went."

the Federalists made a campaign song about it for the election, which for some reason Lin-Manuel Miranda didn't work into his fun little musical.

tl;dr for those of us who haven't been following his disastrous run as mayor? I seem to recall him being a crypto advocate but that's about it.

Nyc (and state) are swinging hard to the right as is liberal tradition. Adams in particular is a dumbass who clearly just wants to do all the corruptions. Giving friends and family gov positions, contracts. He also said 9/11 was in a way awesome because "only in new york baby"
