I’ve traveled the world and only in the US do I see so much hate between political parties and even between individual states and people of different ethnicities. Why so? Why do us Americans put so much energy into foaming at the mouth hate?

I believe it may partially be due to US citizen’s mass infatuation with social media and news networks that are more opinion pieces looking for high ratings (aka money) than getting out facts and actual news. This all divides us even more.

Let’s try to have a civil conversation here. No need to rant about the left or right. No need for name calling.

Why is there so much hate in the USA? What is causing it?

Social media definetly has a part to play. I think Facebook should cease to exist. Isn’t good to live in our own echo chambers.

Personally as I get older I just get more and more tired of the really stupid. We live in an era with a wealth of information at our fingertips (assuming you can remove yourself from your echo chamber).

There has been hate in this world since the first human was on it. In these modern times the world is connected within seconds. We know what everyone else is doing. Things get leaked, things get hacked. Political differences between the parties and with people in general. Religion. Social media. Entitlement. Power. The list is long.

Why is their so much hate in the United States?

Simple, one side wants to preserve our Constitutional Republic as it was originally founded and the other side wishes to destroy it.

There are many country’s constitutions that change over time. But here in the US you see strong Hate for those who have differing views. In Germany, for example, I had an interesting discussion between two people with differing views. In the end, we had a beer and went to dinner.

Here in the US it would have turned into a shouting match, maybe worse. Why do we have this level of hate for each other? I’m looking for reasons, not “because two sides don’t agree on things”. That happens everywhere.

Those of us who get up in the morning and actually work don't want re-destribution of what we have earned just for some social experiment with a proven failure record. The thugs rioting, burning and killing are the result of a failed education system which has taught our children to hate their parents, government, country, and faith (except Christmas gifts) but worst of all to accept socialism as normal.
