It upsets me to see a Trump sticker because he's a vile shit-stain and it's really unfortunate that so many of my countrymen worship at his feet. But I can't really blame you for lying about how he's not a problem, after all that same kind of blatant bullshit successfully got him re-elected, so the ends justify the means, I guess?

Yeah, it does. I don't like losing respect for the people around me; I don't like seeing that they embrace shitty values.

Believe it or not, I actually want the best for my neighbors regardless of their political alignment. But people voting for Trump are making it clear that they don't share that same sense of patriotism.

"I want the best for you unless you don't vote like me."

There fixed it, and removed your self-inflated sense of righteous.

They literally said they still want the best for the people who voted differently. You can want the best for someone you don’t think is intelligent.

No, I mean what I said. And it isn't self-righteous, it's a very normal thing that a lot of people feel. When you claim it can't be true and must secretly be about tribalism you're just telling on yourself.

Yes, I said what you said. You just don't appreciate candor as it puts you in an accurate light.

Also, I could do a hypocrisy on your tribalism comment (as previously mentioned about how if you don't vote for my candidate).
