It’s because they believe all the lies of progressivism.
Progressivism tells them that as progressives they are generous, kind, loving, tolerant, peaceful, “non-judgmental,” smarter and “open minded.” In comparison, conservatives are greedy, war-mongering, racist, hateful, “close-minded,” intolerant, dumber, “judgmental,” and mean.
If this were accurate, I would say they have a fairly good case against conservatives.
The problem is they don’t see or understand their thought disorder, and they don’t want to see or understand it.
I do remember that visceral hate for Bush in 2000. I used to think it was because he won in such a closely contested race, what with the Florida recount and all. But I think I need to see that “hate” in a broader context nowadays.
I think you somewhat overstate the degree to which this personally affects liberals. It’s extreme, but they like protesting and being victims and being outraged. It’s not depressing to them personally.
But I do as someone who grew and lives around almost exclusively liberals think that there’s a degree of animus towards Trump that is above and beyond that held towards the typical Republican right-winger. The reason is that Trump fights them on their own battlegrounds.
Someone like Bush was content to cede the media, academia, the culture, etc. to the liberals, so long as he was in charge of the military and GOP-allied segments of the corporate world such as the oil industry. Liberals can live with that, their basic view of how the world is does not get challenged, it just happens that they are out of power.
But Trump wants to fight them in the media, in the culture, on the campus, and his fight is basically about what is and what is not, and there’s no compromising. Either Trump’s version of the truth prevails, or theirs. So it’s an existential fight, if Trump wins, then they not only lose politically, but everything they believe becomes not the truth, but just another political opinion. They can’t abide that, so they fight.
Excellent post (and excellent tagline).
Collectivism is one of the basic principles of libtardism. Libtards divide everyone into groups, and there is always one group or another that is victimized and oppressed by some other group. This naturally causes divisiveness and hatred.It is what libtardism thrives on.
“Liberalism is a religion. Its adherents consider you and me heretics and deserving of death.”

That would certainly explain why liberals seemingly love muslims. Hating those that don’t believe the way you do is definitely a common trait with liberals and muslims.
Perfectly stated.
I NEVER thought that lifelong (liberal) friends and family members actually thought like that, but they do.
Such absolute unhinged insanity and hatred.
None of them say oh, lets agree to disagree. Or, well, there are more important things in life than politics.
Nope.
Literal hatred of me and my ideas.
It must be just terrible for liberals, so perfect in every way - morally, intellectually, spiritually - to have to admit to and submit to the idea that such a flawed and inferior individual as Donald Trump, representing such an inadequate group as the Republican party, actually will be governing them - quel horreur (apologies to my high school French teacher).......
They feel Entitled, and they think their Entitlements are going to be taken away.
Hate you asked about and it comes in various facets. Here is a daughter’s hate for her
father expressed in the obiturary she wrote. Scroll down to read the entire obit.

or here is the FR article posted about it.

Obama, being the anti Christ personality he is, gave such a strong sense of entitlement that they believe utter crap is truth. What Obama really did was create wealth for himself while intoxicating and destroying their party for his benefit (and little advance of ideology), but the grass roots haven’t figured this out yet. If they ever do. He was reckless with their beliefs and power to feed his net worth and ego.
the L$M was in the tank for hiLIARy so we went over it and around it and the truth will out
Trump indeed.
Trust me I hated Zero big time, I’m just not a Liberal Chimpanzee acting out by flinging poo
Not to over simplify this matter but a large part is related to the propaganda the media spews of which the low info crowd - just for fun I’ll throw Hollywood in there - believes as truth (they can’t think by themselves). Don’t want to forget political correctness too; someones feelings will get hurt. Actually, it’s really become significantly intertwined in many aspects of life such as education for one. A Good post :)
Thanks, YogicCowboy, nice of you to say so.
I must admit, the behavior of liberals has always been disturbing to me, but never rose to the level of alarming me because they are generally all talk and too lazy to follow through. Lately, though, I have indeed been alarmed by their behavior.
It is their open talk of doing violence to both people, and the democratic processes that I think should be paid attention to. The problem now it is so out in the open and pervasive that the people who are capable of violence because they cannot control themselves are mixed in with the leftist moonbats who are are only too happy to egg them on.
The scumbag in the Veritas videos who bragged about enlisting mentally ill people to cause problems at Trump rallies was only the tip of the iceberg.
Good thread, by the way.
I think Leftists do want everyone to conform to society’s needs and desires BUT Leftists believe that the needs and desires conform to their personal beliefs.
This belief that society should conform to their personal beliefs stems from narcissism. I used to think narcissism wasn’t dangerous but I was terribly wrong.
The narcissist doesn’t accept that his her beliefs could be wrong. Those beliefs come from their feelings, which must also be correct since it originated in them. They are not partial to examination of their beliefs to figure out their validity.
I prefer to keep it simple. Satan hates God and His people, and President Trump has sided with God and His people. Makes it easy to tell who is on Satan’s payroll.
They hate themselves, and it all just ripples outward from there. It's that simple.
