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).

It is said that you must pick your battles, but often they are picked for you. You should not give in just because you did not choose the fight. No, you must respond with all your determination and ferocity, and show your enemy they picked the wrong battle, with the wrong warrior.
