President Trump isn’t “widely hated”
Lincoln hated in his day?
Heck, I hate him now!
Yes! And as divided aa our country is, I’d take our situation now over Civil War/slavery era any day.
I keep reminding people of this fact.
People forget that the vitriol against Reagan was almost as bad as Trump, but didn’t usually boil over into calls by democrats to use violence against him and his supporters.
Hated today, too, by all the Confederate supporters around here.
Interesting! Thanks of posting.
Trump never had to sneak into DC on a midnight train for his own inauguration.
“President Trump isn’t “widely hated””
Only liberals think everyone hates as much as they do.
Poor to ever compare anyone to Lincoln.
His situation is a conundrum. Not clear how good he was. We are very divided on this.
And I ask: please take note how much libs love Lincoln.
That should tell you something right there.
Some of us have no use for Lincoln today. Freeing the slaves was only an after-the-fact pretext. In other areas of the Constitution, Lincoln was not too particular about civil rights. His base was Big Finance and utopian New Englanders committed to the mission of using the power of government to perfect the world according to their notions.
The Northern press labeled Lincoln as a “buffoon”. He only became a “god” to them after he was assassinated. Odd how that works.

Were there Reagan supporters or cabinet members who were harassed when they eat at restaurants?
RE: . He only became a “god” to them after he was assassinated. Odd how that works.
Now let’s not give them any ideas....
bkmk
An awful lot to compare between Lincoln and Trump.
First, Trump isnt “Hated” like they like us all to believe. But, the news media in Lincolns day was as worthless as it is today. So much so that Grant had to suspend orders from a general that had ordered a news person to be taken out and SHOT.
Like Sherman said..”Kill them off at night and you’d be receiving news from hell by breakfast.”
Probably the most abused right is the right to free speech.
Confederate supporters are democrat supporters. The Civil War was started and wholly owned by the democrat party. Funny how like now, they convinced all of those poor dirt farmers who owned no slaves and in fact remained poor because slavery made their farming efforts impossible to get ahead. They convinced them to fight and die to defend their rights to own and profit from slaves and their plantations. They had no intention of sharing any of the benefits of slavery with the rest of the population. Like today, a few benefit from slaves/illegals while the rest are shut out of jobs, opportunities to move up. I don’t think they will get the level of support today that they received back then. Some southerners still haven’t learned that they were freed as much as the slaves were.
