You have, it's everywhere. Just drop in any of these words (gender study, transgender, sea level rise, climate change, sustainable development, liberal, Democrat, socialism, feminism, globalism, women's rights, representation, diversity, science, education, racial justice, critical race theory, mainstream media, vaccine, Hunter Biden, George Soros) as a bait to anywhere on conservative spaces and watch the hate flow.

I think you are confusing things. Being critical of things is not hate. If that is your definition then sorry to tell you but we aren't working with the same definitions. No point of debating when you think saying Hunter Biden committed crimes is the same as hate. Violence has been happening much more from the left when it comes to topics you brought up. There is significantly more violence on the pro abortion side. Look at all the prolife institutions that were damaged and destroyed. It is peanuts against the pro choice facilities. And to top it off some of them were attacks by leftists to frame the right. Huge amount of racists crap written on walls and stuff have been hoaxes written by the group targeted. Look at Buba Wallace and Jussie Smollett. Look at the the rise in hate crimes against Asians. It isn't exactly happening from a common Trump demographic. The left has been leading in violence and hate. Regardless the violence and hate is quite minimal. If all you see is hate and violence then you need to get off the internet and as the kids say touch grass.

  Is watching Fox News or Newsmax counts as touching grass? Many of my sources touched grass and came to the opposite conclusion than you. Criticizing Hunter Biden is not specifically hate, but then again people are not criticizing him, they are spreading conspiracy theories about him. It is yet to be proved that he committed any crime, but his privacy has been already thoroughly violated. Steve Bannon famously said that he doesn't feel good about it, but they are in war. Hunter's entire life was on that laptop, and it was straight up weaponized. Now he is a subject to many QAnon conspiracy theories, and fictional retellings. > Look at all the prolife institutions You mean anti-abortion institutions? There are barely any sources for violence against them. I don't think most people know about them. You don't see people attacking churches either. Anti-abortion violence is frequent, it's everywhere, it's a serious issue.

    >Is watching Fox News or Newsmax counts as touching grass? It is the exact opposite. I think this proves my point that you need to get out. Please provide me some Fox or Newsmax links promoting hate and violence though. I would be interested in seeing what you call violence and hate. >Many of my sources touched grass and came to the opposite conclusion than you. I was suggesting you touch grass not people you listen to. >Criticizing Hunter Biden is not specifically hate, but then again people are not criticizing him, they are spreading conspiracy theories about him.

I don't think the repair shop should have gone through the laptop, but it did become the repair shops property after Hunter failed to pick it up. >Steve Bannon famously said that he doesn't feel good about it, but they are in war.

No. I mean organizations that help people who are not aborting. Providing diapers, money, doctor's services are not anti abortion. >There are barely any sources for violence against them.

Also Canada had a lot of Churches burned a while back. >Anti-abortion violence is frequent, it's everywhere, it's a serious issue. Like I said, touch some grass. You need to get off the internet and talk to real people if you think it is frequent. Spending too much time on the internet skews your mind and causes you to think things are getting so bad in the world. Things aren't perfect, but violence is relatively low and things are OK.
