They hate us. All of us.

[sheshe2]

“Please, President Trump, sir. I want more.”

They hate us. All of us. The budget makes that plain. Before it’s a financial or policy document, it’s a manifesto. A declaration in numbers of how much they hate us.

They hate the poor, that's obvious. They hate and despise and fear the poor, especially if they're brown. But they hate the sick too. And the old, at least everyone irresponsible enough to get old without having put together a $500,000 portfolio. They hate children. Other people's children, of course. They dote on and spoil their own. But other people's children are coddled and raised to think life owes them so those kids need to be taught a lesson. They hate everybody who isn't rich because we should be rich. That's what life is for. To make money. Lots of it. And if you didn't do that you've wasted your life. If you didn't do it it's a sign you didn't try, you didn't work or work hard enough. It's a sign of your bad character and moral failure. And that's what we all are in their eyes, moral failures who expect them to bail them out when our bad character gets us in trouble. Even if we aren't constantly coming to them with our hand out in one way, we're doing it in another, demanding we be paid more than we're worth, demanding benefits we haven't earned or deserved.

We're all thieves and parasites, moral failures, degenerates and defectives. Sinners! Sinners against God and Nature and we must be punished.

Don't bother with the Ayn Rand reference. She didn't invent selfishness. She was just a clever apologist for it. The first human who decided he had a right to take what another human had earned, made, hunted, fished, or grown and had the boldness and strength to follow through invented it. It's been the religion of every war lord and robber baron since:

What's mine is mine and what's yours is mine. I am your superior. Favored by the gods! You are nothing. You're lucky I let you stay alive.

Last line...I guess they changed their mind about letting us live.

1. they hate themselves most of all. They are profoundly unhappy people - we can't let them win!

[Maraya1969]

27. I'm glad you said that. People with such greed and contempt are very unhappy

Miserable really. I would never want to have whatever mind and soul problem that they have. I guess that is why they have to keep grabbing for more money and power, because it is never, ever enough.

They are chasing their own dragon.

[bdamomma]

36. Would you rather be rich and miserable

or poor and happy. Some people who don't have anything in other countries are just happy with bear essentials. Just food for thought.

[NRaleighLiberal]

38. Poor and happy!

[yallerdawg]

2. We spent 2016 believing no one would vote for...

this demented crackpot, the worst candidate ever (not counting the ones he put in charge of the Departments of Energy and HUD).

I wake up every day in shock, and go to bed each day even worse off, day after day!

This definitely shows us what happens "when the inmates run the asylum."

I'm afraid if he isn't stopped, it will just get worse!

[sheshe2]

3. I feel the same way yallerdawg.

I can't help but check the news every morning to see if America is still here...yet she grows smaller and less significant by the day, we have lost the respect of the entire world.

[iluvtennis]

17. Well said, Amen

[judesedit]

4. They are the parasites.

[sheshe2]

5. Boils on the butt of humanity.

They need to be lanced.

[2naSalit]

10. +1

[0rganism]

34. they're the ones holding the lancet now

unfortunately for the rest of us
i'm even more worried about what they're going to do with the bonesaw

[BigmanPigman]

6. I am envious of Carrie Fisher. She died before he took office.

In fact I'm envious of anyone who doesn't have to experience this shit day in and day out for who knows how long.

[rhiannon55]

32. And Leonard Cohen died the night before

Election Day. He couldn't have planned it better because he never had to know the horror with which sane people "greeted" the election results and all that's come after.

[Initech]

7. The GOP is fucking evil.

I've been saying that if we said kicking puppies is wrong, Trump and his fans would start kicking puppies. If we endorsed breathing air, they'd endorse pollution. If we say we like eating healthy, they'd deep fry it in saturated fat with a side of margarine. If we were for children playing in the parks, they'd burn the parks down. If we want clean water, they'd dump black tar in it. All because the pundits told them liberals and government were the devil. Fucking monsters.

[dubyadiprecession]

28. They like the 40 hour work week and overtime, but somehow believe a republican gave it to them.

Some republicans are not only deplorable, they are delusional!

[brer cat]

8. They not only hate us,

they laugh when they take food out of the mouths of babies and healthcare away from old folks.

[sheshe2]

9. Yet they love the fetus.

And hate the child. Die...the new and the old, die swiftly.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

11. Except, as someone pointed out to me, not even fetal health & nutrition. . . nt

[sheshe2]

14. They are liars

...everyone of them and their adoring fans swoon.

[The Polack MSgt]

12. Hate them right back

Can't wait to see what happens when we get the Congress back.

We'll probably be all accepting and forgiving. Let these traitorous shit bags walk..

[Bernardo de La Paz]

15. Hate is a toxic emotion. Loathing is a coolly rational response leading to action. . . nt

[Bernardo de La Paz]

13. tRump & Republicon pols hate their base too

[sheshe2]

16. Ain't that the truth.

sigh.

[Dustlawyer]

22. The rich look down on us, but use the RW media to make the Republicans hate so they will vote

against their own interests so the rich people can get the money. Anger and fear are the most powerful drivers and are what gets Republicans to the polls in the midterms when Democrats are no where to be found.

Trump has made us angry and afraid and that is what will drive the next couple of elections for us!

[dubyadiprecession]

29. Sad, but true.

When will these morons grow up?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

18. "not much"

[lambchopp59]

20. beer belching bastards. There's one thing gives me hope: read my post below.

[rpannier]

26. Sad part is

a lot of well educated people vote Republican as well
And of course they get votes from 'The Any Day' crowd

Any day now, I'm going to win the lottery and be a millionaire
And I don't want anyone touching my money

[lambchopp59]

19. The red-hatted sort are doing themselves in.

Not only am I seeing increasing numbers of red-hats admitted to the hospital no longer able to tell their ass from a hole in the ground, but the blatant and astoundingly embarrassing gaffes they make right in front of their grandkids gives me hope for 2018.
Problem on the other side of the equation, their heroes, I'm certain, are hard at work rigging the next elections.

[benld74]

21. Deplorables ALL

[elmac]

23. Its class warfare

I just read an article why there is so much anger on Airlines and its a microcosm what what is wrong with our entire economic and political system. The privileged don't want anything to do with us and we are sick and tired of their first class status in all things, banking, justice, taxes, ect...

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/may/25/plane-rage-first-class-air-travel-united-passenger-removal

[sheshe2]

37. Thanks, elmac.

I will check out the link.

24. The Russian purchased GOP is doing their master's bidding

They have been paid to destroy this country, and they are hell bent on holding up their end of the deal.

[rpannier]

25. Remember the old song

This land is my land
It's not your land
If you don't get off
I'll blow your head off (hence the need for a broad interpretation of the 2nd Amendment)

[blue-wave]

30. Yes, they always have

The last depression starting in 1929 is testament to your post's title. It is why President Roosevelt stated that "I Welcome Their Hatred." At some point in his life, he realized that the members of his own class were haters. They hated the "useless breeders" that were good for nothing except for serving them, the masters, as slaves. Their attitudes and opinions have never changed. They hate us all.


Clip of Roosevelt's speech:

[Gothmog]

31. K&R

[raven mad]

33. HOLD IT..................

We're NOT less.

[unitedwethrive]

35. This budget just reinforces the fact that the repubs only use wedge issues to get supporters

who would otherwise be voting for their own interests. Find one repub that truly cares about abortion. They are just using religion as a way to attract actual religious people.
