The 1st Amendment has always been widely hated, going back nearly to the very first year, ateast as far back as the Alien and Sedition Acts.

This is the first time I’ve heard that the First Amendment was hated, much less widely hated, and that it has been so widely hated since the founding of the country. What are you basing this off of?

Everyone hates it when speech they don't like is permitted. Politicians hate parodies and getting lampooned by comedians and journalists. Christians hate it when "satanists" mock their religion. And on and on.

Not really. Everyone loves what it says, they just all think that what they dislike falls into a hidden “but...” clause.
