Make no mistake, Trump is also resented from deep within the GOP because he’s an outsider. The party elites are every bit as much a part of the Deep State cabal as the Dems are.
Jackson probably had fewer enemies than Trump does.
Starboard,
Exactly!

Agreed.Wanna know how the Pubbies could smash the Democabal???
All it would take, IMHO, would be for the Republican House minority Leader to announce that, if the Republicans took a majority in the House in ’20, and if the margin of victory was black congressmen of the Tim Scott ilk, the new Speaker of the House would be a black conservative.
That would take self-sacrifice to the point of self-abnegation, granted - but it could produce a self-fulfilling prophecy which would shatter Biden’s “they want to put y’all back in chains” canard permanently.
Electing a Black Democrat to the presidency was never going to end that trope, it only added a powerful voice to it. But giving real power to a black Republican??? IMHO the Democrats would never be the same after that hit them. They would be on the defensive in their own center-city strongholds.
“Jackson probably had fewer enemies than Trump does.”
Charles Dickinson and Thomas Hart Benton, among others, might have disagreed. Jackson was involved in 100 duels.
