The left and hate sort of go together.
More of “How to fool them today”.
“Progressives” cannot stop working at ways to fool the voters.
It is in their very DNA. It defines who they are.

I worked around lots of lefties during my career. They were, by and large, elitists who had contempt for average people, especially conservatives. They have an air of intellectual and moral superiority that is dismissive of the “unwashed” and unsophisticated masses. They feel compelled to tell everyone else how to live.
Many were also closet racists.
I remember reading Lenin quoted as saying “we shall hate or we shall fail”. Anyone else read that quote? I can’t remember where I read it.
The left are utopians, which means they hate whatever is, for the sake of some mythical alternative.
