The curve of hate is half of a bell-shaped curve that has hate on one end and love on the other. Both hate and love exist in the same brain but they are opposites. But opposites cancel each other so how can opposites exist? They can’t. Not in the same way for the same things so love doesn’t cancel hate.
Hate propels people in good or bad directions. Some people attempt to mitigate their hate by thinking “I hate Trump but I love ice cream” i.e., by showing how they possess love thinking their love of something offsets their hate of some other thing but of course the things are different so the hate isn’t offset by the love. Ayn Rand wrote: “To arrive at a contradiction is to confess an error in one’s thinking; to maintain a contradiction is to abdicate one’s mind and to evict oneself from the realm of reality.” In other words, that person is crazy.
Normal people; i.e., rational thinking people cannot hate President Trump. As time goes on more people come to accept that Donald J. won the election just as Obama did. Their sharp edged hate towards him will lessen. It’s like coming down from winning which is to say coming up from the depression and anger at losing. Far too many people are taking an American presidential election too personally. MLK sad: “darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that.” When it comes to hate however there’s the middle ground where many people stay. They nurse their hate; feeding it to keep it alive in their soul until they can spring against some Trump supporters throat so watch out for signs that signal such dangers and keep back until their rationality returns.
