Just to correct a slight mistaken assumption on your part. Republicans have not changed from the days of Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt. We do not espouse hate for any group, not even democrats/liberals/progressives. We disagree, sometimes vehemently, but will not characterize that disagreement as hate. It is the left that is espousing hate for anything republican/conservative and using lies to do so. No one in the republican/conservative sphere has ever said ALL Muslims, what has been said is that radicalized Muslims need to be dealt with. Even the Muslim community says the same. As you say, making false comparisons based on false labels just demonstrates a persons lack of analytical ability. I agree with that assessment.
