Why does it seem like the only ones perpetrating hate, are those who hate Trump? Sure, there are people who are hateful, and there are people who are racist, but it does not follow that if and when Trump becomes President, that hateful people will take over society.
Rather, perpetuating hatred through calling people xenophobic, or racist, or homophobic, or Islamophobic, is just the perpetuation of hatred. It is itself, hateful. The person expressing hatred of those things, is being hateful to at least the same degree as the person-whom-they-are-being-intolerant-of, is.
Jesus calls us to love. He calls us to forgiveness. You may not believe in Jesus, but He is the Lord and Giver of Life, and unless you come to have faith in Him, you have no hope. Your own hatred, your own sin, secures your doom.
Jesus can set you free from your bondage to sin and death. His Gospel, the Good News about Him, includes that He is King, and that you can enter into His Kingdom, the Kingdom of God in Christ, through repentance. Jesus says, "Come to Me all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me. For I am gentle and humble of heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
When you do that, come to Him in faith, He gives you forgiveness. He gives you life.
