There was also a civil war under Lincoln. Additionally, last time I checked Lincoln also wasn't trying to overthrow the entire government and replace it with a theocracy. He was trying to abolish slavery. Reducing the country's authoritarianism is kinda the opposite of what Trump & Co. are trying to achieve.
That is such a poor comparison that I'm seriously wondering if you're trolling. If so, 4/10, you got me respond but your comparison is so poor that it left me questioning whether or not it was genuine.
