First off, I have no delusions that President Trump is another President Lincoln. Both are incredibly consequential presidents, although in very different ways. For example, I doubt Lincoln would have had fun sending Democrats into a froth mouthed frenzy for racing his horse and buggy for a lap at The Daytona 500. But the comparison has to come up given how every so often we hear about how the country is headed for another Civil War. This article in the American Thinker makes a great case that it actually started days before President Obama was sworn into office. What's interesting is how much we see in the articled mentioned that's taking place today - it was written a year ago.
That said, I'll get to my point a lot quicker than faithful readers are used to when I write posts with some crazy claim in the title. Thankfully, the "Trumphitler" claims have mostly flamed out, as once proven unsuccessful Leftists simply pirouette to the next slander, white supremacist, Russian asset, etc. I never put much stock in the various name calling, as Leftists are always going to hate whichever current Emmanuel Goldstein they've been told to hate. Of course, they conveniently overlook the biggest parallel, comparing how the 1930's National Socialist German Workers' Party treated political rivals and what we saw happen in 2016.
As for Lincoln? Let's look at the eerie similarities:
President Trump was preceded by a Democrat who tore this country apart.
So was Lincoln. (In Buchanan's defense, his more due to incompetency, and not a stated goal)
Lincoln had to deal with a secession movement backed by a foreign power.
Damn. That was almost too easy.
Democrats after the Civil War harassing black citizens who wouldn't fall in line? Check.
Still at it today? Check.
Violence against people who have the audacity to disagree with Democrats? Yep, this is old hat.
And of course, we have no shortage of it today.
And more specifically, violence against journalists who don't tow the Democrats' party line? Oh yes.
While out in Portland, this happens so often I'm surprised none of the local papers have a section dedicated to this topic.
I'm sure that there are more examples, but this is all I can think of for now. Drop any I missed in the comments section below!
One last note, if another Civil War happened, it would not go how The Radical Left thinks it would.

They should get t-shirts made...
Let’s pray he doesn’t have the same fate as Lincoln. I pray for his safety. An actor killed Abe and there are a lot of actors that have threatened Trumps life.
headed for another Civil War. This article in the American Thinker makes a great case that it actually started days before President Obama was sworn into office......
....in direct violation of the Constitution with the support of both parties.
It’s the citizens vs globalists.
I was just watching an online documentary about gypsies and how Hitler put them in his death camps. Mengele experimented on some of them (as well as other peoples) and I was thinking of how heartless abortion is and how ones who could say ok to abortion at some point could say ok to stuff like the Nazi’s did.
In fact the ones who are putting out bills and laws to make it ok to abort right up to the day before birth to me seem to be equally able to to such things as the Nazi’s did, same mindset and who are those people?
The Democrats.
It would have to be a T-shirt with velcro on it so they could rotate all the stupid epithets, LoL
i can wait for the trump lincoln pennies...
Hollywood, Academia, and ABCPBSPNBCNN vs......
the 240 year old constitutional republic.
The conflict is engaged.
Trump is the next Reagan.
Unlike the GOP-e, he listens to his BASE and uses the info we send him.
He moves dynamic instead of sitting on his backside and waiting until Aug to start building energy.
Most important, he has helped identify those within the GOP who are spying for the Democrats.
Now we need to begin looking for his replacement for 2024 or start training Pence to handle the Presidency.
No danger that Trump will be another Lincoln. He won’t surrender Charleston to the British like General Lincoln did.
To be specific, ‘not a great actor’, so....it’s a big field.
Someday we’re going to have to free the Democrat’s slaves again.
If he was Hitler, they would be on the trains.
Just Curious, does the The National Socialist Workers Party sound Democrat or Republican ??
Of all the failed Hitlers, Trump is the worst.
He cannot get even the simplest little Hitler things right.
Crappiest Hitler of all time.
Heheh.
You will greatly confuse many here.
Booth was a wildly popular actor, as was his family.
really? i thought he wasn’t well known at all.
