Well, that would give some insight as to why John Adams hated the Democrats of his day.
I do not see how any of this bears relevance to the meme I posted.
The reason why John Adams had become a Democratic Republican is because the federalist party no longer existed after the defeat of John Adams' bid for a second Presidential term. The defeat that the federalists had suffered was so devastating that they ceased to exist as a viable political party and as a consequence, the country was essentially either under one-party rule or at least dominated by one party for several decades until the formation of the Republican Party shortly before the Civil War. After the dissolution of the federalist party, John Adams simple had no choice but to become a Democratic-Republican, but then again, whether they liked it or not, neither did anyone else. Until the rise of the Whigs and free-soiler parties---the free-soilers being an abolitionist party---no one had a choice as to what political party to align themselves with.
As for the final letters between Jefferson and Adams, there is a very interesting story behind what began the resumption of their friendship as the reconciliation between Adams and Jefferson had been inspired by a dream or vision given to their mutual friend, Benjamin Rush:
To John Adams From Benjamin Rush October 17, 1809
From John Adams To Benjamin Rush October 25, 1809
To John Adams From Benjamin Rush December 5, 1809
From John Adams To Benjamin Rush December 21, 1809
It was Jefferson who was a part of the Democrat-Republican party. Adams was a federalist and his letter to Jefferson reveals an animosity that he held, not against Jefferson himself, but in a general sense, against the Democrats of his day. If it were not so, he would have made no mention of them and therefore must have had reason to list them amongst the parties he hated. If any of his reasons for his hatred of Democrat-Republicans of his day were justified, it would only go to show that the seeds of evil and corruption were already being sown within the party from its very beginning regardless of Jefferson's intentions and purpose for the party might have been and thus a careful study of its history from its beginning until today would give us insight as to how it became what it is today. For the time being, I am going to give Adams the benefit of the doubt in that he knew more about what was going on within the Democrat-Republican party than either one of us and if the seeds of corruption and wickedness were present within the party during the days of Adams, how much more so today and how much more relevant applicable is his statement in which the Democrats of his day are included.
But since you wish to discuss perceived inaccuracies of the meme, I must then point out an inaccuracy on your part in that Adams held no hostility to the Christian faith or even the Church itself as he often spoke favorably of the faith and even came to its defense after the publishing of Thomas Paine's infamous "Age Of Reason,
For in his defense of the Christian faith, Adams stated:
"The Christian religion is, above all the religions that ever prevailed or existed in ancient or modern times, the religion of wisdom, virtue, equity, and humanity, let the blackguard [rogue, scoundrel] Paine say what he will; it is resignation to God, it is goodness itself to man."
(Definition of blackguard added)

Adams was only opposed to the corruptions or what he at least perceived to be corruptions within the Church of which he often speaks as well, but not the Christian faith in and of itself.
Try this. You may have to copy/paste it if all else fails. Hope this works. https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Jefferson/03-06-02-0230
Sounds like an oxymoron
The statement especially describes the modern day Democrat party; hence why I shared the meme and the source from which I took the most relevant portions of the statement.
Seventy and six years old was he when he became Pope and he reigned twelve years. And he did evil in the sight of the Lord...
I found that to be the case with at least one movie I watched.
They are probably saying that to suppress viewership when in fact, for those of us who have seen the film, there is really nothing to be concerned about.
Next year, if any of the prime-time networks air the film again, we need to see what we can do to get the info out to people further ahead of time. Multitudes such as myself never knew that even aired this year.
That is why I bought a copy of the 1956 classic.
You can watch it from the start on youtube if you want.
If that is the case, perhaps we are on the verge of the Great Awakening after all. A shame more people didn't know about this.
If that is so, then I am surprised and so would multitudes of others because I have heard nothing of it from any of the alphabet networks for years.
I think you're missing the point of my post.
If only they would play it again on Easter. If they played it last Sunday, then maybe we are on the verge of the Great Awakening after all.
If that does turn out to be the case, I'm going to be curious as to how Trump knew.
I have to ask if that first guy is Robert DeNiro. Sure looks like him.
That is why I had been posting each news item separately before combining them into one post. I only started combining them into one post so as to not make anyone think that I was a spammer.
You suggesting that is where the term comes from?
No, they haven't been quiet. They've only taken their rage and venting to Tik Tok, X, and Youtube instead. At least for now.
You think that's what the drones flying about NJ and other places last month and December were all about?
Let's see you use that bravery against the Muslims invading your country and then I'll be satisfied.
