Hate

Decades and decades ago I said the word "hate" in front of my grandmother. She let me know very clearly that we do not use that word. And I don't.

At the Nazi rally for Charlie Kirk yesterday Trump said something like: "Charlie said to love your enemies but I hate my enemies."

1932, FDR: " They are unanimous in their hate for me—and I welcome their hatred. "

Trump has no idea who I am but he can count on the fact that I -- with apologies to my sainted grandmother -- I hate him. Yes, really, really hate him . . . for what he is doing to my country.

2. Hate is toxic inside the hater. The target feels no effect. Discard things with all downside, no upside. . . . nt

Is a derogatory word that the GOBers use when they want! It’s convenient for them because it makes them feel stronger.

I use “hate” as a term describing what they think, but I don’t like using it due to the fact that it makes me feel bad.
