They hate him because he was the impeachment manager for Trump's first impeachment and Trump directed almost all of his ire at him during the impeachment hearings in the House and the trial in the Senate. His supporters believe Schiff's a power-hungry liar hellbent on destroying the country for his own political and personal gain, which I believe you know, in actuality is the man they so egregiously admire.

Because they're fascists and he is not.
Haven't we talked about this several times already?
You probably forgot, it's ok. Nobody is upset about your poor memory.
Nevertheless, I would like to refresh it for you, so here are my 2 previous comments:

Maybe it would help you to read a book or two about fascism? I can give you some reading material, if you can read.

I don't hate him, but he's an awful liar.

I like this question because I think it treats both sides with the respect everyone deserves and that we'll really only get out of this downward spiral of polarization we're all currently on by that sort of approach. Other than Sheila, it seems all those who answered aren't Trump supporters so are only guessing (since they also didn't refer to Trump supporters they know well in their answers). Instead of fanning the flames of misunderstanding by speaking out of turn perhaps we could just wait for another Trump supporter to expound a bit on Sheila's quick take on their perspective?

Here is the handbook for authoritarianism (viz., Trump and his followers):
http://www.mnei.nl/schopenhauer/38-st...
Written by the philosopher Schopenhauer in the early nineteenth century, it was a sarcastic discourse on how to win arguments using dirty tricks. This has been the Republican playbook since around 1992 when Newt Gingrich imposed penalties on fellow Republicans in Congress who maintained social and working relationships with their Democratic co-workers. Relations between the two parties have deteriorated ever since, and now those relationships are toxic.
