It's two sides of the same coin when you look at every situation in a binary though pattern.
So many posters in this thread are saying "You don't think like me, so you are wrong/bad/evil".
That is the exact same thought pattern of the people they purport to despise.
It's nonsensical.

No, no they are not.
They are saying:
1) You support a lying, racist, rapist, grifter
2) You support a party/president who's platform is based on grievance against some of the most vulnerable people in the country
3) You support a party/president who is actively working to hurt/cause damage to those vulnerable groups
4) You support a party/president who are implicitly (if not explicitly) supporting Putin in a genocidal war of aggression
5) You support a party that is actively trying to hurt the country I live in
6) None of this is a surprise, you were told by us, and in many cases by DONALD TRUMP himself that this is what he was going to do, and you voted for it
There is an important difference between that and what you said in bold.
If someone says some horrible racist crap I don't think they are wrong because they think differently than me, I think they are wrong because they've said some abhorrent, demonstrably incorrect stuff.
I don't think Trump supporters are wrong, and some degree of terrible because they think differently than me. I think they are wrong, and some degree of terrible because they KNOWINGLY support and are responsible for someone who is doing and saying abhorrent and demonstrably wrong things.
