In reply to the discussion: A Rubin Quote [View all]Just A Box Of Rain
(5,104 posts)29. Hated, anger, and rage have to be cultivated.
Too many demagogic political figures and movements make cultivating such hated the very core of their paths to power.
People who are stoked with hatred, anger, and rage are easy to manipulate and they lose the capacity to reason, which is the hallmark feature of being a liberal.
I'm thankful that we have a different type of leader in Joe Biden.
Rubin Carter's words are spot-on.
