In reply to the discussion: I finally pinpointed what it is exactly that I resent the most about Trump voters [View all]pazzyanne
(6,747 posts)46. "Their willingness to jeopardize everything in exchange for settling a score
of some perceived injustice against them. (because everything is about them)"
and that is it in a nut shell. My trumper sister has used that argument against me, threw me out of her family because I am a liberal. Needless to say, I no longer have contact with her. She was just too toxic. It is a common trait for all tRump voters. When she was okay with separating children from their families and told me it wasn't her problem and that "illegals" had no business being here, that was the last straw and I realized there was no help for her any more.
She is my baby sister, 15 years younger than I am, and I miss the person she use to be.

Take a number. I've heard them called "resentniks" and I think it's a perfect fit.
