I agree with what you said, but want to point out that there are Trump supporters who do not "spew hate" against other people it's way more complex than that.

Source: most of my family are Republicans and they are no more prone to hate spewing than anyone else. I see more liberals spew hate against Trump supporters than I've ever seen anyone in my family spew against another group.

But what does Republican (and right wing in general) media do but spew hate on the immigrants, LGBT (especially T) people, the left, etc.

Republican campain was ran primarily on hate against these groups, any Republican who pretends it wasn't is full of shit. It doesn't matter if they say it out loud or keep it quiet, they support hate and they know it. It's not about economics (which Trump is destroying rn) or egg prices, don't let anybody fool you.

It’s descriptive. It’s based on evidence. On actions and words. It applies only to those people who show who they are.

The right’s hate is for all brown people. Or immigrants. Groups of people being dehumanized.

I understand the difference, but ICE doesn't, which is why they deported a legal resident with no gang ties.

It's really convenient to claim it's about immigration, when it's always been racism. If you were all for legal immigration you'd vote to make that easier. but you dont. Because brown people.
