13. The way they exploit and feed hate, bigotry, racism and divisiveness in our country.

While I recognize their methods are effective for their means, it's also destroying the very fabric of what our nation should, and could be, if it weren't for what they've done.

I think a vast amount of their mindless supporters are now just a symptom of their years (decades?) of propaganda and poor education they've been forcing on them.
