on him ride the wings of prophecy. If the dragon reborn had not come, then they wouldn't be in this pickle, so they'd think.
You're looking at this as a detached reader and ranting at simple peasants who care for little in their world beyond their own survival and comfort (and rightly so, few others do)
They know the Dragon will save them, but they also know they, or their loved ones, could die in the process. They could lose everything they have even if he wins, and then be forced to live their lives in misery. Regardless of the alternative, this is still an abysmal fate. They fear it. Fear leads to anger. anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suff--wait wrong series.

He's not hated. He is feared because of the inevitable destruction salvation will bring.
