Yes - they are inferior to me.

On every single metric, they are inferior. I don't grab people's junk, I don't make fun of the disabled, I don't cheat people, my husband knows I'm faithful, I'm not a bigot -

If that's offensive to those Trump Types so be it. Yes, I look down on them.

They can say and think whatever they want but if they knock on my door I'm slamming it in their face.

Truth be told - they are probably coming with a noose so it's self preservation to do so.

They won Bigly. It's incumbent upon them to do the outreach. They have everything they wanted, so they have to be the bigger person.
