Why, yes, I AM a Trump-hater. Why do you say that like it's a bad thing?

[Atticus]

"Hate" is simply an intense or passionate dislike and I assure you my dislike of the one term twice-impeached failed insurrectionist loser is very intense and passionate.

I have similar feelings about Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, Xi, Adolph Hitler, Pol Pot and others, but none of them is currently leading the effort to destroy America from within. Decent folks intensely and passionately dislike such monsters.

So, call me a "Trump-hater" and I just might bust out my Elvis impersonation and respond "Thangyoo, thangyoo verra much!"

[WarGamer]

1. I choose not to live with HATE in my heart.

It's poison that consumes you.

We all know there is EVIL in the world. In fact there is so much evil in the world that one could stay up nightly for lifetimes hating and then hating some more.

Just do the right thing, daily, love people and things ... that's the answer to EVIL.

Hate just makes them stronger.

Just IMHO.

Feel free to be you.

[anarch]

5. me too, I try not to "hate" anybody...I only wish peace upon him (preferably of the eternal kind)

[WarGamer]

6. Yup... exactly...

[MyOwnPeace]

24. Or, as Clarence Darrow once said:

“I have never killed any one, but I have read some obituary notices with great satisfaction.”

Note: There's a 'similar' quote going around attributed to Mark Twain.

Ain't so!

2. Nice post. Can I use this over and over?

"...the one term twice-impeached failed insurrectionist loser..."

[Atticus]

3. If that was not a rhetorical question---of course! nt

[TigressDem]

4. I like NEVER tRUMPer myself....

I DO HATE WHAT HE/THEY HAS/HAVE DONE, but these unhinged excuses for human beings don't deserve that level of my concern.

They are beneath contempt. Pitiful examples of what happens when parents are stupid and raise dictators.

BUT if you have the energy to Hate him and them, I can't fault you for it. I get it.

It's a bad thing for my own mental health. I do succumb quite often, but I need to move on and do the things that need to be done, so I have to leave it behind.

[LuckyCharms]

7. I hate the motherfucker.

And the fact that I hate him gives me a righteous good feeling, so I don't think it's hurting me at all.

Fuck him.

[dchill]

18. You have crystallized my thoughts exactly.

[Scottie Mom]

32. Ditto.

And I wish there was a more hateful word than "hate." I would personally reserve it for that motherfucker.

[LuvLoogie]

8. I don't hate trump. I loathe him.

Hate has no focus.

[Lunabell]

9. I hate him and what he's done to this country.

I don't mind having hate in my heart because it's normal. Humans are not perfect little saints. We love. We hate. Even the most even keeled of us can be violent given the right circumstances.

So, I'm not going to pretend or try to be holier than thou because I'm not.

[NullTuples]

10. What are you, some sort of...anti-fascist?

...'cause I am too, and proud of it.

[peacebuzzard]

11. there are lots of despicable people on this planet that I hate

and tfg is way up there on the list.
I don't believe in that send love out karma; this planet doesn't have time for that anymore.

[Cherokee100]

12. Luv it

The next time, some trump loving, holier than thou, ignorant bible thumper, tells me to have a 'blessed day', i'm going to tell them 'praise Jesus' and go 'talk to God'..

I know that's a lot of comas (Sister Louis Joseph) wouldn't like it but I'm tired.

[bmichaelh]

13. I will never support Trump

I will never support or vote for Trump or anyone who seeks his endorsement.

This has nothing to do with so-called 'Trump derangement syndrome'

It is simply self-preservation.

Recently, I reached remission of lymphoma after 3 years of various cancer treatments.

I have not forgotten that he wanted to repeal the ACA which provides me protection for pre-existing conditions and life time limits.

If he had been successful, not sure I would had achieved remission.

[Solomon]

31. congratulations on your remission and welcome to DU!

[Bo Zarts]

14. I am a Trump-hater, and I am "woke."

Neither bad things, in my opinion.

[William Seger]

15. I've hated Trump for at least 20 years

I used to laugh at his TV show, because I knew his real record of business failures, and his playing a business genius was one of those early shows that put the quote marks around "reality TV." But ever since I learned about him stiffing contractors, my amusement turned to total contempt. My father was a drywall contractor, and like most, he worked in the trade many years before he started his own business, and it was tremendously hard work to make it successful. My brother took over the business and made a good life for himself by working hard. Some people lost their business because this fat, self-satisfied piece of shit -- whose daddy bought him a business that he ran into the ground -- figured he could get away with cheating them. Trump, who never did an honest day's work in his life, is simply despicable, and always has been.

[magicarpet]

16. Could you get a guitar and sing us a few Elvis tunes.

I'm in the mood.

[Cha]

17. It's a Democracy

Loving thing.

[calimary]

19. I hate what he's done to our country. And yes, I hate him, too.

I know, I know, it's not good to hate.

Well, so be it. But for him, that's all I've got.

[Ferrets are Cool]

27. I cannot agree. It is not a bad thing to hate.

I hate a lot of things, and in turn people who willing cause those things to happen.
I could list 1000 things that I hate and would not be ashamed of any of them.
Starting with murder, rape and the willful harm of the innocent. And I HATE those that commit those atrocities.
The list is almost endless.

[calimary]

29. Fair enough, my friend. I totally get that.

[Ferrets are Cool]

33. ...

[housecat]

20. Hate is an emotion. I have no feelings for tfg or other mass murderers. I don't know them.

I can look at Putin and tfg with words that describe how dangerous and evil they are. But I don't regard them as human, let alone objects of hatred. Hate is too good for them, because it means they are recognized. I would like to erase them, and if people (including media) ignore them they will be erased. Since that isn't going to happen, then I will be thankful when they are dead. Soon.

[Ferrets are Cool]

28. Ignoring a dictator will not make him go away.

No, we should expose them crimes and work to eliminate the cause.

[housecat]

35. True. But if the media had ignored tfg he couldn't have stolen 2016. They still can't ignore him.

He thrives on attention, so stop giving it to him.

[Ferrets are Cool]

36. Well, I certainly agree with that sentiment.

[housecat]

37. And I agree with yours. There is room for many sentiments

[czarjak]

21. Like "We don't hate Obama, just his policies" wasn't B.S. too.

[Oneironaut]

22. "Never Trumper" should also be a compliment.

As in, “This guy is too dumb and psychotic to hold any public office ever, and, should never be let out of prison.”

[Initech]

23. I have never been more scared of what these fuckers are capable of than I am right now.

Look at what Fox News is doing to Texas and Florida. Tyey are literally pulling Desantis and Abbott's strings on a number of issues. Now imagine that on a national scale with a majority Congress and a president who's a Murdoch stooge. We would be totally fucked.

[Martin68]

25. It's not a "bad" thing. It's entirely understandable. But in the long run a powerfully negative

emotion will wear you down. Try solving the bigger problem instead of wasting time and energy on hate. But, sure, give it a try if it makes you feel better. Meanwhile, don't lose sight of the real goals.

[Ferrets are Cool]

26. I will wear that label as a badge of honor

[EnergizedLib]

30. I hate him

And every single member of the cult or anybody else in power who has enabled him to get away with what he’s gotten away with.

It’s a deep, seething hatred. He has damaged America for the next several decades.

[JustAnotherGen]

34. I admire your ability

To assign enough humanity to 45 to hate it.

I look at it like a fat tick that needs to be slapped.

[Johnny2X2X]

38. I love our Democracy

Loving American Democracy means hating those who are trying to destroy it, namely Trump.
