The Jeffersons were Democrats. It was Archie Bunker who said we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again.

Andrew Jackson was the first Democrat.

Trying to shoehorn previous parties into the current parties is a fool's errand. Federalists and Whigs and Denocratic-Republicand and Know-Nothings were what they were, and there were reasons why they each died out.

Jefferson wrote his own version of the bible, ripping out Christ's divinity. Democrats today are socialist technocrats of big government controlling it all who also want to keep God out, and humanism in.
