"Americans Don't Want Leaders Who Hate" [semi-satire]
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 11 December 2022 | John Semmens

After an election campaign in which Republicans were vilified by President Biden and other Democrats as "enemies of democracy," MSNBC talking head Joe Scarborough declared that "Democrats won because Americans don't want leaders who hate. Republicans never understood the righteous wrath that led to the riots over the death of George Floyd. They made opposition to urban crime an issue in their bid for votes. Voters overwhelmingly rejected this message."

Joy Behar, co-host of ABC's "The View" seconded Scarborough's interpretation, saying that "all Republicans want to do is hang out with Nazis and white supremacists." She pivoted from this smear to a denunciation of Sen. Kyrsten Sinema's announcement that she is leaving the Democrat Party, calling her action "a disloyal betrayal of democracy. At a time when we need unity more than ever, this self-serving ingrate is siding with our enemies."

Sinema isn't exactly siding with anyone's enemies. She says "I changed my Party registration to Independent because I pledged to be independent and work with anyone to achieve lasting results. Arizona voters elected me to exert a moderating influence between the extremes of both the Republicans and Democrats. Yet, during the recently completed campaign I was under constant pressure from Democratic leadership to demonize Republicans. I viewed this as destructive to the unity that the President and Party profess to be seeking."

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) accused Sinema of "stabbing democracy in the back. She was elected as a Democrat in 2018. She has an obligation to support the Party's policies whether she agrees with them or not. Now she refuses to say whether she will support the President's reelection in two years. She is a traitor to progressive values. I look forward to seeing a true socialist take her out in 2024."

Sen. Sinema is the second high-profile Democrat to recently break ranks with the Party. Two months ago former presidential candidate Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) also left the Party, saying "it's now under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers who divide us by racializing every issue and stoking anti-white racism, actively working to undermine our God-given freedoms, are hostile to people of faith and spirituality, demonize the police and protect criminals at the expense of law-abiding Americans, believe in open borders, weaponize the national security state to go after political opponents, and above all, dragging us ever closer to nuclear war."

It depends what they hate. If they hate the same things I do, then I'm OK with leaders who hate.

Apparently a lot of America haters do want leaders who hate. But only if it’s people who are “OK” to hate.

Socialists entire playbook is based on hate.

There is always an enemy.

“Hate/hater” means non-Woke. Same as “Fascist” or “Nazi.”

It is best not to hate your enemy (those that wish your destruction). It can consume your happiness. “Hate destroys the vessel that carries it!”
Work hard towards happiness. Happiness is success. “Progressives” want us to be as miserable as they are.

I know this is satire, but maybe there is a solid strategy here. If “Americans” (i.e., mostly leftists) are so repulsed by haters, then Republicans need to focus on defining their opponents as “people who hate”. It shouldn’t be hard.
