I have a family member that doesn't get this (thankfully just the one). It's not that he voted for Trump, it's all the shit he says. The casual "haha jk" racism when I introduced him to a Hispanic friend of mine. The fact that he will loudly talk about some things specifically to upset or annoy people. The fact that he thinks politics is a team sport and Trump's win is a personal victory for him that somehow means he "beat" the rest of us.

Do we have the same dad?

Edit: Actually we cant be related, because this describes both parents, my little brother, and all my aunts/uncles/cousins, and grandparents and you said "One person".

Aren't these people basically hive mind?

I remember when they'd accuse everyone of being NPCs, then use the same collection of vapid catchphrases ad nauseum.

More like puppets with a talent for parroting.

“It’s not because you voted for Trump. It’s because you’re the kind of person who would vote for Trump.”

Some of them, I assume, are good people.

Yup, my family likely all voted for Trump, yet they all strongly dislike Trump, they just want to see the country move in a more fiscally conservative direction. Democrats don't offer that, and Republicans give it enough lip service to convince them.

My family are absolutely good people, have LGBT friends and whatnot, and don't care at all about "MAGA" crap.
