Hate, anger, hate, anger, hate, hate, hate. That's what drives the Democrats. Election results not what they like? Go in the streets and riot. Don't like a Republican president? Use the media and TV shows and bash him nonstop.
Interesting. I am a life long democrat, white, successful, upper middle class, attend a Church of Christ weekly, support the military and law enforcement, fly our flag regularly and yet, find that my values and morals are in no way reflected by republicans or the party.

The clique of aging campus radicals who hijacked the Democratic Party in the early Seventies have turned it into an open sewer and the stink is rubbing off; stay at your own risk.

You can parade your token "middle-class Americanism" as much, and as long as you choose. Freedom of expression and freedom of enterprise (and I do mean with room for a safety net) are unitary and inseparable; but crony capitalism (without which the Clintons and Obamas can't function) is not free enterprise.

It's the Libertarians who are now the standard-bearers for a truly open economy; the RINOs don't have the guts to join them. So unless a new pragmatic centrist coalition emerges, we're in for a long period of stagnation along the lines of 1965-1982, until the latest cohort of Democratic zealots learn -- probably the hard way.

Hate is a natural human emotion, and there are plenty of things to hate.


Why does it even matter? Can we stop being whiny and dumb?

It matters, especially when the haters find a convenient target/outlet and as was demonstrated in Rwanda as recently as 1994.

But it can't happen here, you say? maybe not under present conditions, but it the economy collapses and stays that way, and the streets are full of undocumented criminals and burned-out misfits, all bets might be off; it has happened before, and in "civilized" Europe.

Hate is found in ALL political Groups and any group of human beings. The big difference is in how the leaders of those groups choose to either tampered it or give it life.

First this

https://nypost.com/2019/03/03/ilhan-...-about-israel/

“Omar anti-semetic tweet”

Then the endorsement
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news...ep-ilhan-omar/
“Duke praises omar”

Dont play the division game. Its a minefield. You’ll get destroyed. Perhaps You have some hate?
Liberals hate anyone and anything that doesn’t hate what they hate.

Little bit of both. The radicals in the bunch can’t stay civil.

Maybe a better question would be Which political party uses hate as a tool to divide more?

Anyone who is honest has to admit that Obama took class warfare to a whole new level. The dems dropped the race card at the drop of a hat. It's kind of hard to say you are about unity after Obama's 8 years. The dems still use the race card at every opportunity.

The GOP. The party of Jesus. LOL. Unless the person is a single unwed mother, gay, or a felon. I agree with them on illegals and illegal immigration. The only good illegal is the deported illegal. Muslims. It isn't a yes or no answer. The vast majority of Muslims would no more kill anyone than your average Christian. The problem is there are a lot of M muslims who are extremists.

Both parties would use hate to strip people of their rights. If city data is representative of the nation and I think it is, you have folks who would be giddy with joy to take every gun from every gun owner in the country.
The GOP would love to take the right to marry from gays, many on the right would also take a woman right to abortion.

To me the better question is which party uses hate to divide more?

Acceptance breeds tolerance. Intolerance breeds hate.

Democratic party can’t accept Trump is President, and intolerant to anyone that support him.

If you aren't pointing at both parties, you are either being dishonest or incredibly naive.
