#despise — Public Fediverse posts

I wish people would not use "despise" as if its meaning were identical with that of "hate".

To despise means not only to have a strong dislike, but also to have contempt for someone or something.

- I not only hate MAGA supporters, I despise them too.

- I hate this cold spell we're having.

To my ear, "I despise this cold spell we're having" sounds wrong; how can one feel disdain for the weather?

@MKSinSA I feel we’re once again at the “Shh, quiet please, grown ups are talking” I have come to #despise the #GOP.. My opinion of their party has been dwindling since the 80’s & much to my surprise has sunk lower each subsequent month.
