I have a friend who shares political cartoons that show his political enemies as vile idiots who are consumed by nothing but corruption. Everything they do stems from negative motivation.

I am curious as to what motives are behind the creation and sharing of such cartoons.

My gut reaction is that the creators are mentally unhealthy. I suspect that they prefer their enemies would do bad things and that their perception of their political enemies is part of an important homeostasis. But I can't quite put my finger on it.
