Honestly, it wasn't the hate that disturbed me. It was the complete dissociation with reality. Facts just didn't matter. The sky wasn't blue and he'd have the 'evidence' to prove it.
Hate, while awful, is a constant. Seemingly intelligent people (and lots of them) who can no longer understand the boundary between fact and something provably false was a bad sign.
The epistemic closure of the Right. Ailes' killing jar.
