This reads like flamebait to me. I don't see that it adds anything to the discussion.

It's a relevant comment. The author chose a title with heavy ties to politics. They shouldn't then be surprised when people bring that up in discussion. I personally also think it's not wise to choose a title that enforces a slogan with ties to hateful politics unless that was your goal from the start.

All political slogans have ties to politics which someone finds hateful.

This is silly to say. Why deliberately miss the point?

"Finding" some hateful is not the same as being on the receiving end of types of hate that have caused a lot of violence and persecution over centuries.

Very simply, the slogan is not hateful. That you have rationalizations for finding it so doesn't change this fact.

Like I said earlier, why deliberately miss the point? "Make America Great Again" is a hateful slogan. You're purposely denying that to try to prove some point.

No, I'm simply stating a fact. There is no reason for you to presume motive. You have chosen to perceive the slogan as hateful. This is your belief, your perception. It's not present in the slogan itself.

It's not a "fact." But really, if you truly think that there is no hate in that slogan, then there's no point having this conversation, because I know what kind of person you are.

Thank you for acknowledging my ability to look beyond partisan biases.

While it might be straying slightly towards the off-topic, the second part is a very astute observation and an interesting connection that I did not personally make at first glance.
