Hatred Doesn't Drive Politics, but This Does

People often claim that their political opponents are motivated by sheer hatred. Thus, we have "hate-mongers," "hate speech," "hate groups." But almost no one openly claims "hate" as their political motive. When accused of hatred, the normal reaction is something like, "My God, you're naive. You can't even imagine that anyone on Earth sincerely disagrees with you. Oh, we're all horrible villains."
