Elitism, by an large. An elitism that believes that they are more intelligent, free thinking and socially progressive than the slack jawed outback yokels that live in rural farming areas devoid of artisan coffee shops, Uber and the Internet. An elitism that believes that the best way to solve issues in regard to poverty is to throw money into large funding schemes that have no relevance to the small guy. This is then followed by an elitism that smirks and says "well if you won't take our money I can't help you and you deserve to be poor." It's an elitism based upon focus groups and yes-men group think. The sort of thinking that believes they're doing the right thing - that rural America needs educated and held by hand into the new world, even if that world is more immoral than the one they're living in. Don't they understand that the world will be a much better place when they're all using an iPhone and there's a hipster shop on every corner selling food and drink two times the price from imported countries? They don't? Well gently caress them then. The Democrats believe that they are the the side of righteous, that only through them will "good" policies be enacted. This is understandable because in the however many years of Democrat and Republican fighting, the Republicans have always shown themselves to be complete and utter monsters. The issue though is that this has caused the Democrats to become narrowly focused, playing more of a mathematical game of stay in power rather than attempting to fix or improve the United States. To answer the question, Liberalism has always hated poor people. It hates them because it sneers at their unwillingness to adapt and evolve to the new world. It hates them for not conforming to their liberal ideals, even if those ideals are morally ambiguous. If they don't change then they will be shunned from society and then pitied.
