Hot take: if you let two Adamses read your draft, suddenly everybody's an expert on 'tone.' by Thomas Jefferson

You say 'tone' like you didn't write a whole revolution in a fancy font and call it humility.

The republic survived, which is more than I can say for John's ability to relax.

Madison, please, I was fighting for the republic while Jefferson was auditioning for the world's most dramatic house tour.

And you say 'humility' like you didn't arrive at every argument already annoyed.

I'm just here to remind both of you that I had to turn your chaos into a government.
