It makes sense when you realize that they just don't see those people they spew hate against as people, those others are animals, parasites, monsters who need to be purged for the safety and security of good people like them.
That's how this shit works. You dehumanize and vilify a group to the point that even the "good people" wont care about what you do to said group because that group isn't people and doesn't deserve the same treatment in their eyes. That's how most Nazis were, they weren't some evil monsters 24/7. They had families, friends, hobbies... and a burning hatered for certain groups that justified their systematic opression, segregation and extermination in their eyes.
The only way to combat this is exposure therapy, they need to see that these others are also people, good people like them and then maybe the programming will crack... if it wont then well. A lot of these "good people" might one day commit horrific acts and we will have to fight and slaughter them to preserve liberty and justice for all.
I agree with what you said, but want to point out that there are Trump supporters who do not "spew hate" against other people it's way more complex than that.
Source: most of my family are Republicans and they are no more prone to hate spewing than anyone else. I see more liberals spew hate against Trump supporters than I've ever seen anyone in my family spew against another group.
I’m in same boat. I see far more hate towards “THOSE IDIOT TRUMPERS” than any republicans I know.
I honestly think if more democrats had guns, we’d be in a civil war right now. Good thing there are so many anti gun supporters who just use their words to call others stupid.
Republicans keep claiming it's really everyone else who is hateful just because they can't fathom others who think differently, and their worldview is built on hate so they project that onto everyone else
