Frida Ghitis: Nobody has done more to bring hatred and violence into the political arena than Donald Trump .

She says the real incitement to violence in America is hatefulness — hate speech, fearsome lies, and dangerous, paranoid rumors.

Trump has never taken responsibility for the consequences of his hatefulness, she says.

Ghitis says the most significant cause of the upsurge in political violence is Trump .

Julian Zelizer : Hate is the single most powerful emotion Trump elicits from his followers.

Zelizer says Elon Musk's refusal to moderate hateful lies on his X platform is contributing to the rise of hate in America and around the world.

We must hold all purveyors of hate accountable for the consequences of their hatefulness, he says.
