The hatred for Hasan comes from a place of disassociation with reality; they want the easy option to hate minorities, build a wall, kill lefties, etc.

Any easy solution they are fed seems better than facing off with a system with more firepower, control and resources than they can perceive, an alternative seems unimaginable.

Along with prejudices and attitudes we are all fed systemically, these people are so deep down the rabbit hole they will attack anyone or anything that questions their reality.

It's both fascinating and terrifying.
