No, I’m saying they generate fear about it. Which ironically leads to more hatred, not less.

It's actually conservatives who play up fear as a tool; check out the article in today's Tribune about it. Given that Utah's majority lawmakers are gerrymandering conservatives, it's remarkable to see an article openly and honestly criticize them as "the party of fear mongering." Already they've passed bills targeting trans people using bathrooms and defining Utah as "sovereign with no ties to the U.S. government." And it's already early in the legislative session. A truly fucked up state.

Trump living rent-free in the other party’s head is the reason he’s going to be re-elected.

Yes because hatred cannot be overcome by hatred, only by Love.

Well said. So in World War II and the Civil War, we should have just talked the enemy down, right?

As long as atrocities in the past continue to justify atrocities in the present, there will be no end to atrocities.
