“The [Left's] Superego, here, has made a terrible bargain.
It has offered membership in a group whose size and power allows the individual to submerge his doubts. And then to forget them. But the cost is the surrender of his reason.
He may live his entire life never talking to a Conservative, never reading a Conservative publication, or listening to any news at all save that of the Left. That four hundred Liberal journalists [JournoList] have been revealed as involved in a long cabal to distort that which they offer as news, in aid of Liberalism, makes no difference to the Liberal. It cannot; for he cannot risk his membership in the herd. And he must remain unaware of his bargain. […]
The Liberal is caught. To reject the herd protection is to, inevitably, undergo the shame and humiliation of recognizing his prior, destructive folly.
So the Liberal stands pat. He, who never talks to anyone outside of this group, accuses the Conservative of being brainwashed; he explains the abysmal performance of Obama by saying "look at the mess he inherited," as if the President did not campaign (as do all politicians) on the platform of cleaning up the prior mess. […]
The Liberal is subsumed in the herd. How, then, to explain, as he must, the unfortunate state of things?
The herd supplies the answer: blame the Opposition.
Obama's plans are questioned? Call his opponents Racist.
Palestinian Terrorists are dedicated to the destruction of our ally, Israel? Blame the Israelis for saddling us with a challenge to our delusion of Universal Brotherhood.
The Left, in suspending reason and accountability, is ravaging our beautiful culture. […]
The drive to discard our evolved American culture, to replace it with the "reasoning" of idiot teenagers who have blessed, by their presence, the schools of the Ivy League, results, as it must, in a new culture. But in what does this culture consist?
The Nazis and the Communists railed against and discarded religion, and instantly, automatically, created their own religion, each with all the formal trappings and operations of — though with different content than — those religions they displaced.
So the Left creates its own, new culture.
But this culture is confusing, amorphous, and constantly shifting. It not only resembles, it is the Party Line, avant la lettre. The confused Liberal must grope, each day, to find how to explain (to his own satisfaction, for he will never talk to a conservative) the inexplicable vagaries of his tribe.
How can he do so? "Call MoveOn.org, and just do whatever they say."
In what does this new culture consist? In obedience.”
— David Mamet, The Secret Knowledge: On the Dismantling of American Culture, Chapter 21
There is literally nothing "liberal" about these so-called "progressive" leftists. Their views are intolerant, monolithic, belligerent, infantile, not to mention just plain stupid and unsupported by history or reality. Moreover, those are their good points.
If you want to understand whence comes your loathing of the liberal left, read David Mamet's The Secret Knowledge. Be advised that understanding will likely effect more intense loathing.
