96. It's simple, because they are Republicans. Their Party is based on a lot of hate.

Jul 2016

If you harbour feelings of not succeeding because of reverse discrimination, poor people getting help from the government, immigrants stealing jobs and getting government aide, being basically selfish and resentful. Then there are the "God fearing people who are told what is right and wrong while they become clannish and in their empowered group pass judgement on others who they are told, do wrong according to their Pastor. Then there are the cliques who feel entitled to be superior to everything and everybody else. All that don't fit in their world are either to be pitied, bring disgust or they fear them. They basically all are Hippocrates. The Republican Party believes in putting people on boats attached to their luxury liner, working to keep their ship what it is and to barely keep theirs afloat with the crumbs that they have to survive on. Everybody is out for themselves literally to serve and survive.y..except for the "chosen ones".

Bill Clinon.. A no nothing, on one of those boats outsmarted them and their leader.
