Several years ago I attended a dinner at a five star restaurant given by a very famous conservative organization - to remain unnamed. One of the movers and shakers of Inside-the-Beltway.
One guest entered and was immediately mobbed by the others. This guest was a very famous “Republican” pollster - also to remain unnamed. Curiosity compelled me to approach this great man and snatch whatever pearls of wisdom I could. It is worth noting that this “Republican” pollster who was holding court that evening was one of the most virulent Never Trumpers in DC in 2016.
Like a timorous student of Aristotle at the Lyceum, I asked the Republican Pollster what he learned about the current political state in America. He fixed his wise gaze upon me and responded, “Liberals hate us. We do not hate them.”
He quickly turned his back to me to dispense more wisdom to another inquisitor. I walked away feeling not wiser but bewildered. When I returned to my table sitting next to my wife I remarked, “Why does this man earn so much money for discovering the obvious - or maybe it is not so obvious to GOP DC denizens.”
After all, a little more than a decade earlier the GOP took control of the House for the first time in 40 years. Let me repeat this for those younger than 35 years old. Republicans had not been the majority in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1954 to 1994! For those of us who recall those days know that the Democrats did not take this well. They immediately started fear and hate mongering.

Hating your political enemies comes from the progressive mindset that wishes to eliminate their opposition by any means possible while I think the conservative mindset is to convince and ultimately convert the opposition.
If you look up the hysteria of the Galli priests of Sybel and later the Maenad women of Dionysus (sort of gay transgender Galli priest turned into a god), you will figure the democrat hysterical behavior.
The only way for greek women to resist the evil influence of the slave cult which promoted sex, castration and abortions, and which is a feminist equivalent of the islamist 72 virgins in heaven fantasy, they had to kill animals in sacrifice as well as a baby,
Until Christ came along and stopped it by coopting the sacrificial show by taking away the ritual of trance which consisted in drinking the Dionysian blood and eating the flesh of Dionysus in order to incarnate his possessing the follower. Christ on passover coopted the cult and oriented its contract on Himself to free people from it. Then He was sacrificed in a Dionysean hysteria.
Yes we do.
Or I do anyway.
The Scorched Earth Policy came to DC with the Clintons.. and the Left has been on fire with hate ever since.
“...One Problem Has Been They Hate Us - We Do Not Hate Them...”
Believe me, for myself, that’s no longer a problem.
They taught me. And I learned REAL well.
I am a Christian, first and foremost, and this has been a very hard test.
i hate socialists.
they are a pox on humanity and nothing goodcomes from any of them.
this is true
i live by the golden rule
they live by the ends justify the means
Speak for yourself
Proggys hate normal Americans and want us dead. They’ve said as much. KTF
I had a Leftist friend who thanked the Lincoln Project ( even named the turncoat members) for helping ‘them’ (her husband is a DC lawyer) win this election. She is no longer my ‘friend’. And she is Jewish, but doesn’t see the parallels between those she supports and the rise of theThird Reich.
We hate them, but we’re civilized enough not to do it openly.
Democrats are truly the party of HATE.
They hate us. They hate the military. They hate police. They hate God.
They even hate themselves.
I do now.
. . . . until they tried to steal the election, then we did.
“There in lies the problem. Democrats will do anything.. and I mean anything because they believe that the end justifies the means.”
I am reading Witness by Whittaker Chambers. It applies so much to today. Their moral code is man made. In their mind what they are doing is morally correct. If you disagree with them you are evil. They believe man evolving as they desire is God’s will if they believe God at all.
The Left believes they have a “mandate from the masses” (whomever they are), and that elections are “bourgeois”.
As it happens, I was just thinking about this yesterday...
What drove me to think about it was a story I saw here on FR about a liberal whackadoo that defaced his own brand new car with spray paint, covering it with “hateful” things... to claim there was a hate crime. A Jessie Smollett redux. It didn’t work, and he was up against it for insurance fraud...
They NEED us to be that evil they want to hate... and, since we’re not cooperative... they’ll just make it up.
But, of course, its not just the one off instances... the entire premise of the BLM and Antifa that Republicans are NAZIs and racists... is the exact same thing...
So, what is it in their CHARACTER that requires they need to be faced with this EVIL ? FWIW, I know racism. I grew up in the rural south. I was there and lived it, in the 1960’s when the schools were forcibly integrated, and the children were forced to bear the brunt of our societal dysfunction, as our parents generation were unable to sort it out among themselves as adults, so opted to impose the problem on the kids to have them sort it out instead. I’ve also lived as an American isolated in a small village in Japan. I’ve seen it, lived it, and understand it. So, the crocodile tears of BLM/Antifa complaining about “racism” in society today, when racism is NOT the issue it has been historically... tend to fall rather flat with me. The irony of stupid white liberal college students rioting for BLM... because white people are the oppressors... is only lost on them.
Racism still exists. Its real. But the external obstacles faced by people of color today are not MOSTLY about race. The system today is biased against racism, and isn’t enabling it as a systemic problem. But, it provides an easy excuse for failures that otherwise require alternative explanations.
The issue is... we do hate them... only, not anyone because of anyone’s skin color, but LIBERALS because of their corrupt politics forcing failure on themselves, and us.
So, not news, their effort is entirely disingenuous. They’re merely trying to change the subject... to avoid the real issues. And, that, of course, is also perfectly in keeping with their underlying problem... in the CHARACTER issue.
I much prefer an enemy that is known to be an enemy than a friend who turns out to be an enemy in disguise.
Geez, that sounds profound like someone other than me said it ;-)
