As I have pointed out repeatedly, Republicans are a
heterogeneous group. I have also pointed out; conservatism is unpopular
culturally while, at the same time inherently based. We all have it to one
degree or another. People realize the basis of their conservative philosophy is
selfishness, which is something none of us could survive without, yet we are
shockingly aware to imply someone is greedy, is socially unacceptable in polite
company. Conservatism is as basic to our being as self-preservation, which is
not only our strongest motivation but is a universal trait in biota.

When we turn on our TV’s or listen to our radios, what we
hear is a pack of attack dogs spewing falsehoods, and insulting remarks. As any
election approaches, the attacks become sharper and more focused; however, the
theme of the attacks does not change; they all rely on personal attacks rather
than reason or substance. Citizen’s United decisions by our now corrupt Supreme
Court has made it possible for us to hear these disparaging remarks a minimum
of 15 minutes out of every broadcast hours. In addition, we hear this hateful
rhetoric during the most expensive times to advertize, which is during popular
programs and sports events. Congress has weakened laws, or ignored by
regulators who are supposed to protect the public from media monopolies such as
newspapers, TV stations, news networks, etc. In addition, the targeted audience
is people who are not the one sophisticated in political analysis, which are
people who will accept at face value what they hear; “Hate Hillary as everyone
else does.”
She may support everything single thing you stand for;
unions, minimum wage, equal right for all people, balance the budget by paying
for what people want, etc. I don’t know anything about that but if everyone
else hates her as I hear 24-hours a day, perhaps I should hate her as well.
As every teacher knows repetition is a way to learn, they
also know that is you repeat a lie often enough, people believe it. We live in
a cloud of hate. Few say it, but it is a self-imposed smog.
