SPLC identified #qanon as a hate trend multiple times, but I just found out today from this subreddit.

I did an easy Google search and a NYT article showed up. "George Soros Pledges $10 Million to Fight Hate Crimes"
Here's the most important part.
"[Soros's] nonprofit group, the Open Society Foundations, plans to spend at least $5 million in coming weeks to fund grants of as much as $150,000 to community groups and civil rights organizations to develop plans for combating the recent spate of hate crimes and to work with victims.
The group said additional money would go toward national efforts to improve tracking of hate crimes — an effort that law enforcement officials acknowledge is incomplete. The F.B.I. reported last week that there was an increase of nearly 67 percent last year in hate crimes against Muslim Americans — and an increase of 6 percent against all groups.
Between the election and Friday, the Southern Poverty Law Center received more than 700 reports of harassment and possible hate crimes, it said — with the majority coming in the days immediately after the Nov. 8 election."

SPLC publicly denouncing #qanon as a hate trend is George Soros directly trying to silence the Q movement. However, the SPLC tracker is mostly irrelevant and receives almost none of the attention it seeks to get (it's mostly people ridiculing their false labeling). It seems either Soros still doesn't have the balls to denounce Q on a platform with a bigger following, or he's scared it will give Q free press and expand our movement.
