          Probably because it is a call for violent resistance which feeds into the “glorious revolution” idea.

          This quote wasn’t used by other groups until now since advocating for violent revolution only makes sense when no other option is available which hasn’t been true until now

      First time I’ve ever heard Thomas Jefferson referred to as a “tankie”. Yes, famous tankie Thomas Jefferson.
