(29,215 posts)It looks much more to me like the birth of a cult. If you can build a fanatical religious entity around the hatred of one human being, these folks are working REALLY HARD on it.
It has nothing to do with "love" for Senator Sanders, they've already preemptively thrown him under his own bus for endorsing Hillary on Tuesday. No, for them the "revolution" is about one thing and one thing only; hate, and hating her. They desperately seek approval from each other by hating with a greater zeal than their neighbor, thereby proving their revolutionary devotion and creds.
It's more like birth of a really minuscule online North Korea, except their devotion is to hate of a central figure, and hate of anyone who would support or merely even accept her.
It's just wall-to-wall hate. They love nothing else.
