24. Not me!

Not all Trump voters are like those people.

Arguing that they're the same because they still voted for Trump despite the hate-filled, racist messaging doesn't work for me because I've seen too many people vote for people with particular ideas/messages they dislike, but only because there's some quality of the opposing candidate they dislike more. It's sometimes for very self-centered reasons, like "single issue" gun rights and anti-abortion folks, but that's not surprising either given how far too many people think. For crying out loud, there's people who choose to believe the "prosperity gospel" (that God rewards his most faithful with Earthly riches) despite several passages attributed to Jesus that contradict it. They elevate some passages (messages) and largely ignore others because they want to have their cake and eat it too!

EDIT: Going after non-voters might be the best bet, though.
