The inherent characteristics of the political leaders cannot be changed overnight, and the hate continued even after they have gotten into power. It gobbled up hate and disseminated it without fear or favour as online anonymity takes away the shame and discomfort of real-life interaction where you can feel the judgement of others through their expression and reaction.As bad as the previous shady administration were, they knew where to thread the line on hate speech and racial rhetoric, the far-right was kept in check with centrist leaders within the party who were capable of toning down the party grassroots from exploding into a rage.
