the hatred. Quite another thing when hate is based on fiction: lies, propaganda, prejudice, gossip, willful ignorance, arrogance "I know everything and am never wrong," etc. Republicans and JPR types' hatred is based on fiction, not facts. Like the creatures beneath the Ghost of Christmas Present's robe: "This boy is Ignorance. This girl is Want. Beware of them both, and all of their degree, but most of all beware this boy, for on his brow I see that written which is Doom, unless the writing be erased. Deny it!"
