What if I told you that there's zero evidence that Jefferson said that? Would it matter? I know the fear and tyranny thing appeals to some. Maybe that's you but maybe it's not.
If not, here's one you might like more, which IS true, by a former President. One who served when electricity was a thing.

As an American, that one's a winner in my book. Maybe yours too.

@Ynotisay I beg to difffer on who said it but that is the great thing about America, we are entitled to our own opinions

@Sojournersoul True. But we're not entitled to our own facts. We all have the same facts.

@Ynotisay We do and i can find on google too were it was attributed to him.

@Sojournersoul Just because you find things online doesn't make it true. Can't ever forget that dude.

@Ynotisay Funny when moose said he researched it you were patting him on the back. That was his source too.

@Sojournersoul I didn't know what you were talking about but I just looked. I don't get your point. You went to that site? Do you know anything about Monticello? Not just the location but what they do? And did you see that quote? No. You didn't.
Believe it or not, there really are smart people in the world. And facts matter to them. It matters to historians and academics. Those words that were shared in this post? Which have been co-opted by those who need fear and enemies? He didn't say them. Full stop. Now you'll probably tell me I'm wrong. Or naive. Because, I don't know, feelings. But when it comes to truth...fuck feelings.
