There's a lot of hatred in the world, and people find targets to take it out on. They take whatever small grievances they've had with these scapegoats, find whatever they can find to justify their ideals and work themselves so much as to almost believe in. If the mobs like the tune they're spewing, they get elected.
If people could only sit back and dissect their own motives, their own beliefs, find ways of displacing their angst properly, the world would be golden.

Not a fence sitter; try to see objectively. Hatred is the key to many of the findings and lack of moral/mind thoughts of their own; therefore, they rely on what they deem as elite to make their choices [aka the "Elite group theory"]. What ever happened to "Personal Choice Theory"? It require looking at facts, agendas & drawing [objectively] your opinions regardless of a set of beliefs placed upon one by an institution.
