I don't get it.
I never have.
Disagree with some of the man's policies I can understand. I do some of that myself.
But dislike the man? Hate the man?
I just don't get it.
It will make a lot more sense once you understand that extreme liberalism is a mental disorder. Don't attempt to use the logic of a sane man to understand the insane.
I am finding help in understanding in the description "malicious narcissism." I first encountered it reading Tammy Bruce, but have found out that the term was coined by Eric From, "The art of Loving". It explains a lot, but narcissism is untreatable and incurable, I think.
When we see the good in other people, God is revealed. Therefore, those who are evil and rejecting God, see their own sin and the TRUTH. Because they(we) refuse to hate ourselves, or our own evil, we project it onto someone else, making ourselves gods in our own eyes. Every man will stand before God, and no one has any excuse. Not very well explained, but I overdosed on girl scout cookies this morning.
It's the caricature they hate. Of course, they don't bother to find out that it is a caricature, because it represents so precisely everything they dislike.
But FR has been guilty of the same behavior, many times.
