Honestly, we should embrace the hate from the Trump admin, the GOP, the far right, etc.

We can't stop them from making fake videos where they kill us, we can't stop them from cooking up insane conspiracy theories about us, and although "liberal" isn't quite the same slur word it was a decade ago, we can't stop them from using "liberal" as a pejorative.

But what they can't do is do multiple things at once.

Every piece of hate, every rhetorical argument, every slur, every insult, every sentence of hate directed at Democrats, at the left, or at the "deep state" is hate NOT directed at the "stateless" like refugees or immigrants, at Muslim Americans, at GLBTQ Americans, and more.

We should run with it, we should welcome it.

We can take it.

1. Every time they enrage us, we go register voters.

2. We should not accept or take ownership of their hatred

because history has taught us that what lays beyond the words of vitriol and visual representations is actual violence. Beatings, rapes, and even deaths are visited on those groups and more when hate goes unchallenged. This is on them, not us.
