        Hmmmm, very one-sided story. There’s no hate at the left!? I’d argue there’s even more. I expect a whole lot better, more well-balanced, objective, reading materials from a supposed enlightened person. Sad to see one side of, and one slide to one side of, the political spectrum.

        "Entrepreneurs of hate" like the people who sent ricin to Trump,Ted Cruz, and the Pentagon? The man who shot Steve Scalese? The Antifa thugs who beat and injured conservatives? The creeps who threatened to kill a judge's family? Those people?

        I don't even know what people mean anymore when they talk about 'hate'. Feels more like a weapon than a description.

        What a crock. Everything we disagree with is "hate" and we get to set the definitions and misstate the facts. Find a better group to promote. These people are animated by hate themselves.

        There’s an official policy of hate against white men in almost every college now. It’s one thing to have some red neck somewhere that doesn’t like gays, but at least he’s not part of a huge government sponsored hate campaign against them.

        Why was I absolutely certain this didn’t cover left wing hate and intolerance? It’s where literally 95% of the hate comes from. And Trump didn’t amp up hate against anyone. He just wants to control the borders, keep out terrorism, and lower crime rates.

        Hmmm - we all know that people like the authors of this piece never, ever, ever, ever express hate for people they disagree with. There's never any mobs of people like this howling down those with different opinions - or trying to get them killed.

        #Leftists (Bernie Sanders, among others)actually promise to DESTROY anyone in their way, saying "Millions of Americans will die!" if those deplorable xenophobic, transphobic, islamophobic right-wingers are allowed to exercise freedoms. While illegals rape, rob, smuggle & kill.

        I'll tell you where all the hate came from. People recognized that the very same peddlers of love and inclusiveness seem to hold a double standard when it comes to a certain country in the Middle East. Self-determination for noone or self-determination for everyone.

        Open borders for noone or open borders for everyone. If you peddle open borders for everyone except for your group if you say self-determination for only my people and self-determination for nobody else, then that's trickery. The prisoner will be found out and will receive ire.

        sharia is the real hatred, the polarisation needed to win votes, makes democracy another vehicle of hatred and Islamophobes are at the receiving end of this hatred , so also patriarchy at the receiving end of feminist hatred

        When you look at atrocities committed upon native Americans, the “triangle” doesn’t fit that well. The spark is no single tyrant, and the atrocities took place over quite a long span of time. That many people of European heritage viewed native Americans as other, allowed it.

        BTW-What about "hate-mongers lies" that are just inconvenient but true statements? Sometimes other-hatred is based upon inaccuracies in one's views of reality & resulting mental/spiritual/social dissonance as assumptions crash into #reality. See: @TheDemocrats #LBGTQEtc #Trans
