Well said, young one, as I have wondered the same thing in my 81 years of life and have come to the conclusion that some folks are not mentally well and have a cognitive deficiency that affects their perception of things that cause them to be hateful and harmful. I truly believe that they are in the minority and yet many are deceived by their wrongheaded thinking . You were taught correctly about treating others the way we wish to be treated ourselves with kindness and empathy so, keep being the good person you know in your heart you were meant to be.
You are such a thoughtful 15 year old. Share your feelings with your friends, and family. Young people showing up, shows our future we have a fighting chance.
This gives me hope for the future. I hope this person leans in and takes part and pushes for change in our country!

Thank you for sharing, and thank you for being here! Don't give up hope, and don't stop asking questions.

Hold on to your ideals. As Mr Rogers said, look for the helpers.
Also, look for those with a "yes " face ,as well, and seek to befriend them .
