It is a pretty stupid idea that God somehow wants all to be saved yet he only elects some.

No, God only wants his elect saved.

He only loves his elect.

He has mercy upon the lost with his common grace, but he does not love them. A holy God can't love evil.

As is recorded in the Psalms, "GOD HATES ALL WORKERS OF INIQUITY."

God's wrath against the reprobate is connected to their rejection of His love for them.
In return for my love they accuse me, but I give myself to prayer.
So they reward me evil for good, and hatred for my love. (Psalm 109:4-5)

Remember that Peter said this Psalm prophesied about Judas Iscariot, so it makes the most sense to suppose that although David wrote it, the speaker is actually Jesus.
