>I don't remember people openly talking about assassinating Reagan or Bush I or Bush II, or attending one of their speaking engagements brandishing a gun in a threatening manner. Do you?

Maybe not, but nearly 10% of our Presidents have been assassinated over the course of our history and many more attempts have been made.

Also, a bunch of wealthy people tried to overthrow FDR.

I'm not sure things are that much worse than they've ever been, if at all. Some things are just exacerbated and overemphasized by 24/7 news coverage and the internet.
