Maybe I’m dense, but your post was the first time I realized, to libs, it’s okay to hate the haters. I thought they were against hating period.
Libs are huge haters. What I think is going on in their heads is that they were taught at some point that hate is wrong, but they love hating so much that they have to find a way do it that they can justify. So they make scapegoats that they tell themselves deserve to be hated, and, voilà, they have designated people that it is okay to hate.
