There is a lot of anger towards muslims... It's understandable and reciprocated through much of the Muslim world...
Democrats and other l*****ts refer to those on the right as ignorant, r****t, gun crazy, anti-everythingists... In your post you derided and belittled us; all the time claiming that your side of the aisle has higher standards...
I agree that POTUS 44 was less reactionary to the right than POTUS 45 is to the left... Perhaps you can correct me, But I don't recall protests against Obama erupting all over the country when he won...
Tempers run high, and there are some truly uncivil members of the right, but generalizing us all down to the lowest individuals associated with our ideals is... Shall we say... H**eful
As for the left not hating the right... Really
Have you not turned on the tv or picked up a newspaper or checked Facebook for the past couple years?
If you wish to be treated with respect by anyone (left or right) start by treating them with respect... Five-year olds can grasp this concept, you'd think we adults could as well...
Hope all is well with you and yours, and sorry for being preachy....

A little update from a mostly conservative Magazine..
https://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/p**********l-campaign/305749-republicans-employ-double-standard-to-discreditConservatives forget history in discrediting Trump protesters
these perceptions do not reflect what actually followed the e******n of our country’s first black president, much less the difference between why people are protesting Donald J. Trump’s presidency as compared to Barack Obama’s presidency.
Obama’s e******n in 2008 was preceded and followed by violent attacks and property destruction targeted against minorities.
Kaylon Johnson, an African American campaign worker for Obama, was physically assaulted for wearing an Obama T-shirt in Louisiana following the 2008 e******n. The three white male attackers shouted “Fuck Obama!” and “N****r president!” as they broke Johnson’s nose and fractured his eye-socket, requiring surgery.
More frequently, Obama’s presidency was marked by effigies of our first black president h*****g from nooses across the country, for example in Kentucky, Washington State, and Maine, or being burned around the world. What Trump supporters fail to remember is that following Obama’s e******n, property was destroyed across the country, for example in Pennsylvania, Texas, and North Carolina, and a predominately black church was torched in Massachusetts.
In 2008, anti-Obama protesters lashed out against minorities because of their discontentment with a black man being v**ed into the office of president for the first time in our nation’s history. Conversely, in 2016, anti-Trump protesters are holding mostly peaceful demonstrations because of their discontentment with a man, who has ostracized minorities, being v**ed into the office of president.
And while anti-Trump protesters have engaged in mostly peaceful demonstrations against the president-elect, pro-Trump supporters have been responsible for a wave of attacks against Muslims, Latinos, b****s, and the L**T community.
