The Republican War on Love

I guess the the War on Women, the War on Science and Nature, and the War on Voting just weren't enough to tip the political scales. Ever more hate is spewed by the propagandists, and it is having an impact. People are literally having paranoid mental delusions live on YouTube while rational discourse is tossed into the potty trench.

Does anyone else feel like there is a War on Love? Can't we just all get along?



The year of ‘enormous rage': Number of hate groups rose by 14 percent in 2015

America is getting angrier, according to one watchdog.

For the first time in five years, the number of hate groups in the United States rose in 2015, according to a new report from the Southern Poverty Law Center, a legal and advocacy organization known among other things for monitoring extremist activity.

The number of such groups spiked 14 percent in 2015, a year characterized by levels of polarization and anger perhaps unmatched since the political turmoil of 1968, the center said in the report on hate and extremism released exclusively to The Washington Post on Wednesday.

Love includes compassion and that group of humans seem to be lacking in that trait set so, of course, it has to be eliminated because it makes people happy and we can't have that. Everybody and everything must be a war or about war, nothing else is suitable to these brain-scoured zombies.
