I really don’t think it is hate as much as the frustration from a feeling of having been marginalized at the expense of other groups. Big difference.
For most, yes. But there is a rump of ardent Trump supporters who deeply fear a shift in the ethnic balance-of-power in the United States, and who have taken that to the point of either implicit or explicit racism. We can argue about how large that rump is (ahem), but it is real, it is loud, and it believes it will have a very good friend in the White House on January 21.
