It amazes me that people haven't caught onto the shtick yet. Trump keeps doing this to them over and over again. Trump takes some popular position and exaggerates it or maybe just plainly takes the position a little too far. And then his opposition, who reflexively just put a negative sign in front of everything he says, come out strongly against the popular opinion. "Propagation of weaponized hatred" is lunacy. At worst it's an exaggeration or slight overstep of the popular mainstream opinion.

People want the police to come in and stop the looting and burning of small businesses. Seeing people calling these peaceful protests while there's literal burning cars in the background is the most Orwellian thing I've ever seen. And when you point that out you get the "just a few bad apples" argument, which makes it even more hilarious.
