Much of the left’s hate speech bears greater similarity to a psychological disorder than to standard political discourse.

Government as the extension of the self
Liberals: I like it, so taxpayers must subsidize it; I don’t care for it, so it must be banned.
Better in every way
The left’s vision is not only a vision of the world, but also a vision of themselves, as superior beings pursuing superior ends. In the United States, however, this vision conflicts with a Constitution that begins, ‘We the People …’
