    To me for something to be hateful, there needs to be intent to hurt behind it. In this case I believe he is just wrong and missguided.

    But to each person different definitions, I guess.

      Nah the people he grifted were “misguided”. He had all the time in the world to realize the toxic impact he was having on the world, he was intellectually gifted and granted extraordinary power and influence (as a direct consequence of his deliberately reactionary positions he took), at that point you have to be giving a truly naive amount of benefit-of-the-doubt to not conclude malice.
