I mean Trump supporters hate the American way of life too:
- They hate freedom of religion (everyone must be ACE Christian of a very specific kind).
- They hate freedom of speech (you aren’t allowed to be critical of Trump or the country or aspects of history).
- They hate that women can vote (constantly hear them call for the removal of women’s suffrage because they vote Democrats). In fact they hate women in general.
- They hate minorites, especially when they’re doing well.
- They hate freedom of the press (book bans, calls to censor journalists and writers).
- They hate electronic freedom (constant calls to censor websites and communications).
To them, the American way of life should be akin to the Iranian way of life, except instead of a form of ultra conservative Shia Islam and a personality cult around the Ayatollah, it’s a form of Ultra Conservative Evangelical American Christianity, a form of absolute pseudo-monarchy based around Trump and his family, nationalism wherein the founding fathers are Demi Gods, and a landscape where one very specific form of white American culture is the only culture allowed.

Hypocrisy is a feature, not a bug. That’s how they show they’re above you.
