The SPLC calls many Conservative things “hate” that are very simply Conservative positions the Leftist SPLC would not take. They have turned the SPLC into an organ to attack all opponents of the Leftists. Why?
What they have done with their funds shows why. They have to gin up “hate” events and “hate” causes and social division using “hate” labels to sustain their own revenue. There is very little societal need for the original SPLC today, so the SPLC has had to manufacture “needs” for itself.
IMHO the DOJ should have gone full RICO on them decades ago.
