Even before President Trump’s election, hatred had begun to emerge on the American left—counterintuitively, as an assertion of guilelessness and moral superiority. At the Women’s March in Washington the weekend after Mr. Trump’s inauguration, the pop star Madonna said, “I have thought an awful lot of blowing up the White House.” Here hatred was a vanity, a braggadocio meant to signal her innocence of the sort of evil that, in her mind, the White House represented. (She later said the comment was “taken wildly out of context.”)
For many on the left a hateful anti-Americanism has become a self-congratulatory lifestyle. “America was never that great,” New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo recently said. For radical groups like Black Lives Matter, hatred of America is a theme of identity, a display of racial pride.
For other leftists, hate is a license. Conservative speakers can be shouted down, even assaulted, on university campuses. Republican officials can be harassed in restaurants, in the street, in front of their homes. Certain leaders of the left—Rep. Maxine Waters comes to mind—are self-appointed practitioners of hate, urging their followers to think of hatred as power itself.
How did the American left—conceived to bring more compassion and justice to the world—become so given to hate? It began in the 1960s, when America finally accepted that slavery and segregation were profound moral failings. That acceptance changed America forever. It imposed a new moral imperative: America would have to show itself redeemed of these immoralities in order to stand as a legitimate democracy.

It is hatred of the infidel and the unbeliever of a liberal political dogma invested with religious levels of devotion.
By saying love your fellow liberal believer and hate the infidel, you create a tight sense of community for believers and a reason to never engage with unbelievers except rare attempts to convert them.
Liberals appropriated this from Islam.
Remember this: The left will destroy anyone or any thing that threatens their power and money. They don’t give a damn about playing fair or being honest, power and money are all that matters to them. Threaten to roll back their gains and literally there will be hell on earth for the person who they see as responsible.
They have shown for some time now that they are basically without any morality other than hatred and envy. I guess you could throw in sexual immorality and a few more things.
The fact that they demonstrably believe in infanticide makes me think they are simply Satanic.
Sorry, I don't see that at all.
“Madonna said, “I have thought an awful lot of blowing up the White House.... (She later said the comment was “taken wildly out of context.”)”
What she really meant was that she thought an awful lot about blowing someone in the White House.
They will starve if they lose collectivism.
I don’t care what they are consumed with. I want them consumed in flames.
Old fashioned hatred by the left festered in the south when they were the owners of slaves and continued through the days of their Jim Crow and KKK. Modern day political hatred by the left came with the Russian Revolution in October,1917 with it’s associated violence and suppresion of individual freedoms.
Leftism is arrogance, pride and greed taken to its maximal end state. All the other defects are outgrowths of those.
Satan.
I get it.
Maybe I should have said “They SAY they want...”
...”Liberals are concentrated in cities. They have the highest standard of living in the history of mankind and don’t have to work very hard for it at all.
They’re hateful because despite all of this, it really sucks to live the way they do.”...
Yes. In spite of the power, wealth and celebrity they accumulate for themselves, they still are not happy. If the ugly truth could be known, they will not be happy until they enslave every other human being, beginning with those whose ideas are different from theirs. Once they eliminate those, they will turn on each other. What we see and hear every day is nothing new for the personality disordered among us.
You nailed it.
Power and money = control = their gods.
“Protesting” immature minorities and ugly ass women
Typical
This.
Low self esteemed, so LOOKITMEEEEE types
I don’t think those ideas dig deep enough. Those aren’t really root causes.
I think you are onto it here. Because they are emotion-driven and immune to logic and facts, they sputter and resort to vituperation and childish name calling when presented with facts. That quickly devolves to hatred of others and, as Al Baby says in #4, turns into self-hatred when they finally realize they are living a lie.
I disagree with that premise.
