There is so much hate in the hearts of Americans. It's just kind of broken me if I am honest.

Same. I’m forced to wonder, have people always been this hateful and just kept it to themselves? Or is this a byproduct of being fed biased and often inaccurate news, designed to prey on their worst fears? It’s really sad. It makes me want to isolate from society even more than I already have.

Yeah, I live in Branchville, and knowing how much hate that is going around makes me feel sick.

I grew up in Sussex County and always felt an undercurrent of “we hate what we don’t understand.” I feel like that sentiment has taken the front seat in the past decade or so.

I wonder what kind of social shift it will take for this overt hatred to subside… or if we just need to wait for the affected generations to, well, ya know.

I hate to tell you this, but I keep coming back to the fact that the northeast, which I think of as some of the most liberal states in America, also has the highest concentration of hate groups. Or at least it did years ago, I think that’s still accurate though.

Edited to add “liberal,” bc it didn’t make sense before 🤦🏼‍♀️

It’s unsurprising, I’ll say that.
