DJT's hater faction rather reminds me of the "Know Nothing" political party of the 1850s. Consider what Abraham Lincoln wrote to his good friend, Joshua Speed, in 1855: What do you reckon?
Lincoln on the Know Nothing Party
August 24, 1855: Letter to Joshua F. Speed The American or "Know Nothing Party" was an anti-immigrant political party of the 1850's. I am not a Know-Nothing. That is certain. How could I be? How can any one who abhors the oppression of negroes, be in favor of degrading classes of white people? Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation, we begin by declaring that "all men are created equal." We now practically read it "all men are created equal, except negroes." When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read "all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and catholics." When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty-to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocracy (sic(. |

Party of grifters and crooks. Talking for a living, pulling strings, and sorting out problems that they themselves have created in some way, shape, or form is their specialty. They won't take their first breath in the morning for less than $1000. I tell you delivering pizzas is more honorable and social.
