The difference between the Trump hate and Biden hate is that the Trump hate was manufactured by the media. The Biden hate is authentic by the people.

There probably is more Biden hate by “the people” but that’s largely because Democrats aren’t a cult devoted to a supreme leader. Plus, Biden isn’t much more hated than Trump was at this point in his presidency. He only really took a nose dive after he pulled out of Afghanistan, which was an actual, albeit small, blow to the military industrial complex.
Except, i hated Trump before 2016.
Well before 2016 he was known to be a vindictive idiot, a litigious cheapskate, and a fake philanthropist.
We knew he cheated on every one of his wives before he ran for office.
The media informing me that he was also a draft dodger was no surprise.
The worst thing the media EVER did to Trump in 2016 was quote him directly. And then quoted him saying he never said what there was tape of him saying.

The funny thing to me is that before he ran for president I hardly even knew who DT was (I’m not american) and couldn’t care less about him. Trump’s own insistence on becoming the worst president ever, and spreading his general idiocy and douchebaggery across the world, is what put him firmly at the top of my “most hated people in the world” list.
I swear, if I could get away with it, Trump is one of the few people I’d unapolagetically kick in the nards as hard as I can and wouldn’t feel remotely guilty about it. And that’s when I’m feeling generous.
Meanwhile, not long after 20th January 2017:

Whoops!
What transpired up to it's ultimate conclusion on 20th January 2021 proves that there was - and still is - Trump hate by his own voters.
6/1 made sure of that, just as surely as Charlottesville did.
The difference between the Trump hate and Biden hate is that the Trump hate was caused by what Trump actually said and did. The Biden hate is over the made-up crap conspiracy theorists and right-wing media tell idiots he’s doing.
Fixed that for you.
I don’t hate Trump. I want him and his family of grifters to go away and never come back.
I DO hate the party that decided he was the ideal candidate, and the people who voted for him and continue to support him in spite of (or because of) everything that we already knew about him before 2016, and everything that has come to light over the last four years about him, because they are the worst people in America.
I agree with KeithInc. Most of us dislike Trump because he’s a genuinely despicable person, not because of the media. He’s a sexist, racist, megalomaniacal asshole, and one need not look any further than his own words. As for Biden, I know RNJWs hate him because he defeated their Orange Messiah, but I’d say the most objectionable thing about him is that he isn’t more liberal.
The intelligence community had far more influence on my views than the media. And even then everything he said made me think big gov't. Once he started with racist xenophobic attitudes THAT made me outright fucking hate him. As to Biden, he seems far less hated. Which one now wonders: were you saying these things to convince others or yourself?
Even before 2016, most who were able to read beyond his image knew he was a crook. As Maya Angelou wrote, “when someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.”

He did more than suggest, he even signed a deal with them without involving the official Afghani government (maybe he figured they were like his contractors he so loved to stiffle?) about releasing leaders and removing US troops.

Actually, Biden extended Trump’s deadline. Trump wanted out of Afghanistan in March (actually, he wanted out the day after Pompeo finished negotiating with the Taliban, but his advisers convinced him doing so would be a disaster), and this is part of the reason I shake my head when I see right wingers saying “Trump wouldn’t have abandoned our allies like Biden did!” Not only did Biden NOT abandon the US’ allies, not only was there proof that Trump would absolutely abandon allies (the Kurds), but Trump and Stephen Miller spent the time between the Taliban negotiations and Trump leaving the White House making sure that as few people from Afghanistan as possible could make it through the immigration process before the pullout occurred, because their plan from minute one was to leave anyone who wasn’t a white American stranded in Afghanistan for the Taliban to deal with.
I have a hint for Ben, the hate for both of them is real, and by the people. Also a lot of people who hate Trump right now are not fans of Biden. Joe Biden is getting a lot of hate from the very people who voted for him.
That is the difference between hatrid for Trump and hatrid for Biden. Nothing Trump did would get the right to hate him, but for Biden, not doing what he promised the left he would do? That is enough to get us to hate him.
Neither are manufactured. You are delusional if you truely think most people liked Trump.
Authentic by which people? Obviously those with Biden Derangement Syndrome, because the rest of the world saw him as a relief, at least not another 4 years of you know who. I didn't take Trump seriously as a candidate at first, my mistake when other people sure did.
What are you talking about? Biden cut child poverty in half, slowed the spread of the coronavirus, and is about to pass a 3.5 trillion dollar infrastructure bill. I’m not happy about how his administration treated Haitian refugees and the border but he’s sure as hell more likeable than Trump ever was.

I was about to say the same. Biden needs al the support he can get. He’s far from perfect but he’s trying the best he can. People need to realize that there’s more than just the President running things. Democratic majority is slim and two of the Dems are Blue Dogs who are gumming up the works.
As for the stuff in Virginia, the Dems may have lost that one but it did show that maybe “Trumpism” is waning. Youngkin won because he distanced himself from Trump, thus, many probably assumed he was less of a Wingnut and more of a Conservative. Also, it’s a Purple State in the South. While it’s a lot less backwards than West Virginia, Alabama or Mississippi, it’s still “The South” and has a lot of Right-leaning people. It was also a narrow win that could have gone either way. It’s also harder for some demographics to vote and gerrymandering is a thing.
If Youngkin proves to be awful, the Virginians will likely vote him out.
The Dems are about to pass the Infrastructure thing and are now about to work on the Voting Rights Act, hoping to pass it alone because the GOP is against it.
Confused?
