14. I used to think hate required a personal connection--a sort of passion.

I do, however, HATE Nazis and racists.

I have a deeply rooted disdain of homophobes, sexists, fake Christians, and jailers of children. Not terribly interested to hear anything out of anybody denying science, promoting a national religion or abuse of poor people or seniors. Realizing that about myself leaves me completely on board with shipping every f***ing trumper off to Neptune on a slow boat. They offer nothing I consider valid.

I do not equate Republican ideas with trumpers, either. I still feel civil debate is vital to our continued democracy. While I disagree with true Republicans on many things, I feel it's important for us all to be open to the ideal of intelligent honest debate. It's a shame the GOP is currently infested by a bunch of corrupt sacks of crap who worship that orange anus to the point of pissing all over our shared Constitution.

YMMV, but Bill does not speak for me.
