It’s a good essay, but I’m not sure there was TDS-like hatred in the past. The modern Democrats and their buddies in the media have said that Trump is Hitler and a “threat to ‘our’ democracy” to the point that I think they actually believe it.

The nation was nearly evenly split between Federalists (urban, commercial, pro-British, strong federal government) and Jeffersonian Republicans (agrarian, rural, pro-France, decentralized power). Opposition did not appear out of nowhere; these divisions had been simmering for years over policy, ideology, and the nature of democracy. Core issue: Who should govern America—elite institutions or the common people?

And it was the commercial urbanites who were the conservatives. The rural agrarians supported the French Revolution. (Also remember, George Washington was a Federalist.)

The same could be said about the Jacksonian era.

Before “Trump Derangement Syndrome” there was “Bush Derangement Syndrome”.

Before that ... we didn’t call it “Reagan Derangement Syndrome” or “Nixon Derangement Syndrome” ... but the terms would definitely have applied to the democRATs’ state of mind.

Didn’t Lincoln face the same thing?

It’s never been just Trump Derangement Syndrome, it has been any republican president elected after Eisenhower.

Trump Derangement is not new. There was BRS (Bush derangement syndrome), there was MDS (McCaine derangement syndrome). Anyone the Republicans put up will be labeled as Nazis.

“ What appears to be unprecedented today is largely a product of technology and media.”

That’s rather obvious and could have served as the entire post or in a good analysis the introduction.

“ Before proceeding, it is important to note that this essay does not attempt to provide a detailed history of every presidency or political conflict in American history.”

So you’re not going to do what could possibly be novel and worthwhile
