Why do Republicans/conservatives hate nearly everybody? nt

[raccoon]

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

1. I think there about 2 types of Republicans (not all but for the most part):

a) Those who hate nearly everybody.

b) Those who pretend to hate nearly everybody in order to pander to category a).

2. The first rule of being a good republican: Take the asshole position on everything

Meals for hungry children. Against it
Clean water. Against it.
You name the position, they'll take the asshole stance on it.

3. Hemorrhoids

Republicans are so uptight they've got over-clenched sphincters

4. It's amazing. I was mentioning that to someone the other day, they are so

filled with hatred that I often wonder if it's an illness. They are really in a category all of their own. How, anyone can go through life with that much continuous hatred is very sad.

5. I concur. It is a type of mental aberration. Seriously.

[RKP5637]

8. And what also makes me think that, is it spills over into a multitude of areas

of hatred. I think it's seldom they have just one issue of hatred, mostly what I see is a smorgasbord of hatred making it IMO more psychopathological as it's so vast in nature.

6. It's their daily diet of Fox "news" with

most of the so-called "main stream media" following closely behind.

Murdoch, the Kochs and many other billionaires pay for (and profit from) the red meat that's ground out non-stop and eaten by far too many.

Perhaps, someday, a cure will be found. All we can do in the meantime is keep our sanity and hold tight to reality.

7. It's an easy rush

[FSogol]

9. Because they think everyone is as selfish and greedy as they are.

[Gemini Cat]

10. Because they enjoy hating. It's a high for them.

They are also seriously paranoid that someone will take what they have. Not that anyone would want what they have, of course.

11. Psychology

Basic 'in-group vs. out-group' psychology. Their 'in-group' is shrinking as America becomes more diverse, and they subsequently become more and more fearful of, to them, a strange and changing world. It's kind of sad, really.

12. Absolutey! And they don't want to compete for the best jobs, houses, etc.

They still want the "Leave It To Beaver" lifestyle, wherein the Chamber Of Commerce membership card was the ultimate goal, and competition was limited to the white sons of your father's peers.

13. Because nearly everybody can see right through them

If they didn't have exclusive control of the media everybody (not nearly everybody, but everybody) would laugh right in their faces.

[treestar]

14. They want to feel superior

They have no self esteem. they need someone to feel superior to and be inferior to them.

[jwirr]

15. That's easy. Only 1% are the rich.

[Orsino]

16. To keep us from spending on anyone but the one-percenters. n/t

[hifiguy]

17. The really rich shits don't give a damn about anyone but themselves

but it is absolutely in their best interest to keep the populace stirred up in a completely phony panic about assorted imaginary boogeymen and monsters under the bed so the mass of sheeple will remain distracted from their increasing immiseration and servitude.
