Need to be clear on difference between political speech and hate speech.
Disagreeing with someone is not hate speech.

'I wasn't saying that I hate blue people, I was saying that they should run for office in a town of green people.' That's obviously a simple example, but even in real examples, I don't find them hard to distinguish, as long as we ignore the endless trolling and theoretical arguments.
