One thing the defense mentioned was true: this is about hate. A hatred many people have and feel.

It’s the hatred that makes some chant “Build the Wall!” & “ Lock her up!” The hatred that bans refugees & calls COVID-19 the China virus. The hatred that justifies police killings
The hatred that celebrates Kyle Rittenhouse and curses Colin Kaepernick. The hatred that questions the birthplace of our first black President and Vice President. The hatred that tells women of color born here to “go back to” the countries they’re from. It’s the hatred
that leads to conspiracies about Dems drinking the blood of children, about Rothschild space lasers, and about election theft and fraud. The hatred that blames Antifa for the Right’s storming of the Capitol, that smears feces on the walls, that carries the Confederate flag
and that killed 7 people. It’s the hatred that claims there’s a gay agenda, that climate science is fake, and that rich people have worked harder than everyone else. It’s a hatred that glorifies the South and the confederacy and screams “jews will not replace us.” It is the
hatred that Trump told to “stand back and stand by.” The hatred that refuses to wear a mask and pretends this is the flu and that Bill Gates is trying to inject microchips into our blood. It’s the hatred that recoils at “cancel culture” or other attempts to hold abusers of power
to account. It was red hot hatred that fed the Big Lies and the 30,000 other lies. And yes, hatred acquitted Trump in the Senate yesterday.

So the defense was right that we reached this point due to hatred. They’re just mistaken about who’s doing the hating.
