Hate Hoarders

When someone in your life accidentally exposes the stockpile of hate they’ve been collecting for “liberals” or Dems etc., it’s upsetting. Because you like to think that they are well meaning, but simply have different views, or perhaps they are uninformed. Or that maybe there’s some middle ground. You like to assume that they would carry some goodwill.

But suddenly it’s obvious to you that they’ve been building up a stockpile of hate, without regard for having relatives or friends that are part of this group that they hate.

They hoard it as if it is something valuable, or addictive.

Why??
