"...voted for him because of their irrational hate for Hillary, for liberals, for democrats, for immigrants, for African-Americans, for Muslims, for Palestinians, etc."

I have some in my FB collective who hate liberals & democrats - hate them. They are gleeful that liberals are concerned/frightened about Trump. I suspect they listen to hate radio, because liberal is just a code word for all the minorities that they hate, but know that it isn't PC to say that. However, there's no issue with saying you hate liberals and democrats.

I told my cousin, who is one of them, "I'm a liberal." He said, "But not one of those kind." I said, "Yes, one of those kind. A far-left, bleeding-heart liberal. Do you hate me?" He changed the subject. My mom used to say that you shouldn't let politics get in the way of a relationship, but I don't share their view of the world at all & in fact, I think it causes a lot of harm.
