I've been thinking a lot about resisting evil, both in ourselves and on a social level. Not just not hating, but how to also resist being hated. I keep coming back to the idea of overcoming evil with good. There's something there to dig out. I think the hate we are seeing isn't hate for the sake of hate, as you pointed out. It's about a grasp for power and privilege that is slipping away. Maybe the fact that it's slipping is a sigh that good is overcoming? Maybe not. It's a real difficulty though to love our neighbors as they try to oppress people. The whole thing is a mess.
