Liberals are not haters

Sat., Jan. 4, 2020

Hate conservatives?

It’s about time somebody calls out the false Republican talking point that liberals “hate” conservatives.

The often repeated claim serves solely to create hatred and fear against liberals and Democrats.

With this hatred and fear, they both manipulate their base, and distract them from seeing that liberals and Democrats are the only ones trying to help the 90% of Americans which are the working class instead of the wealthiest 10%, or the predator class, that Republicans are actually working for.

Wake up, folks. Every time your “leaders” play on your fear and anger, we all lose.
