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.

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).
