Trump, like Lincoln, a threat to an established institution
By Eric Utter
It has lately occurred to me that, much as Abraham Lincoln was considered an existential threat to the pro-slavery South, to the institution of slavery itself, and to the “Deep South State” (to coin a phrase), Donald Trump is seen as an equal threat to the longtime swamp creatures dwelling in and around the capital today. In fact, the similarities are striking.
While Democrats this go-around haven’t fired on Fort Sumter, those who consider Trump a threat have fired on him.
There was a plan to prevent Lincoln from taking office, much as there have been multiple plans to prevent Trump from doing the same.
Sadly, you can bet that today’s Deep Staters will fight a figurative war with Trump and his supporters with the same zealousness and ferocity as the slaveholding, solidly Democrat South fought the free states. Democrats back then sought disunion by literally attempting to secede from it.
And by attacking the northern states militarily, today’s Democrats foment disunion by attempting to divide us by promoting CRT and DEI programs, reparations, and countless other policies, ideas, and programs.
