    I understand that, but at the same time, I still don’t think that’s the majority of the voter base for Trump.

    Every Trump voter is either an asshole, enables assholes, tolerates assholes, or is some combination of those things.

      Sure, I agree, but enabling or tolerating assholes is different than, as the original poster mentioned, “like seeing the pain they cause.” That’s all I was disagreeing with. I still believe their beliefs and who they support are wrong, but I don’t think most of them think they’re causing pain, or like it if they do.
