62. They are the same people...

... that "hate" someone for having something they don't have, or people who hate you because you can do something they can't do. I've dealt with the second one all my life.
They are weak, selfish people who are congenitally incapable of dealing with abstractions, like "other people". Millions were brought up to "Never explain, never apologize, and never admit you're wrong," "Nice guys finish last," and this gem, "It's their own fault for trusting me!"
For six decades, my hatred of the Republican Party has burned hotter than the surface of the Sun. But now, it has gone supernova.
