It is an interesting perspective

The right seems to hate anything and everything that shines with hope, love, care, tenderness, and compassion.

If it shows any of these things, it is immediately mocked, responded to with anger, hate, shaming, and other negative things in a strong arm attempt to beat these positive feelings as far into the ground as they can go.

To me, that is sad. That is a really huge cry that they haven't had any of these emotions or expressions given to them. They have never had kind, genuine expressions of love, hope, tenderness, compassion and other positive expressions given to them.

Their lives have been hard, painful, cutting, cold, alone, and suffering. They have no idea that life doesn't have to be that way. When they see someone who is experiencing the best life has to give them, their instant response is to make that person suffer the way they have suffered.

They don't seem to see that all they have to do is be with these positive people to have their joy of existence wash over them. They impulsively want to dim that light and make it dark instead of making their own life shine.

To me, that is probably the saddest existence to live. To hate love, joy, care, tenderness, compassion simply because one has never received it. To kill it all before giving it the chance to spark in their heart.

How sad and dark their lives are that they remain in that horrible place and refuse to even consider they could live so much better. Half the time, I feel bad for them that they have been so hurt the only option they see is to hurt others more.

I hope they find what they need.

Totally agree, I don't understand it at all. How bad could their lives really be? They seem to have lost sight of the sunshine.

I try to reason with them, I refuse to give up.

I used to find myself more conservative...and then realized the scale had shifted so much more to the right than it used to be...

there has always been a continuum - but I never thought I would see the day that a convicted felon that can't make an intelligent argument about a position could be elected to the Presidency of a nation.

I am getting a vibe that I think you would feel if you lived in 1930s Germany

I'm neither right nor left or right or left depending on the subject. Cruelty and hate are not simply the domain of those on the right.

@BlueGreenGrey true. Libertarians are just Republicans who don't like committment.

@BlueGreenGrey Trust me. I hold plenty of grievance with the modern right on a whole slew of issues from Choice to Weed to Palestine to Iran etc..
