That's exactly a strawman.
My point is not that someone can't do bad actions. My point is that someone cannot be good or bad since every action has a reason behind it. Only when you understand the motivation can you truly say if someone has a tendency to want to do good, or a tendency to want to do bad.
Sadly, being a conservative does not make you a bad person. Even if you really really wish so in secret.
Yeah, I see. You're the type of people who look at actions and disregard motives. Or when you do, you give extremely simple motives that are so far from reality that it's almost impossible.

[...] we have an intolerance for ideas and evidence that don’t fit a certain ideology. I’m also not saying that we should restrict people to certain gender roles; I’m advocating for quite the opposite: treat people as individuals, not as just another member of their group (tribalism)..
Trump is not a conservative, he is a plutocrat. Plutocracy is objectively bad for the country, regardless how good the person might be.

Yeah, he became a conservative, after wanting Oprah to run with him on a third party ticket, that would have been more liberal than Clinton or Gore. I guess 'but, he is an opportunist!' doesn't have the same ring to it...

Well then get your shit together.
Get it all together. And put it in a backpack. All your shit. So it’s together. And if you gotta take it somewhere, take it somewhere, you know, take it to the shit store and sell it, or put it in a shit museum, I don’t care what you do, you just gotta get it together.

I think a lot of the rhetoric from Trump's support talking about the hate from others is actually something very common. I think everyone has gone to school with a spoiled kid, who believes they are a special snowflake. Where grades coming in as failure, is not because you never went to school on the subject or that you never had experience, but because the grader hates you. That is literally what is happening with Trump. The guy has no credentials in public office and is screwing up as a result. Pointing out that Trump is acting like a normal person would, while lacking any and all experience, isn't hate. Trump isn't something that he claims every coal worker isn't, in his ability to pick up a new career without any training.

The lazyness of people this days to open a book and read about something is the key thing to the hate about trump.
It is very easy to read someone opinion about something and belive that is the absolutely true.
He is a terrible president? Form your own opinions trying to understand his actions even if they are completely wrong, stop vomit jornalist opinion and use your own brain to understand the world.
He stole from children with cancer.
He stole from veterans.
He's insulted POW's, the Pope, and pretty much anyone that hasn't sworn loyalty to him...
and then he made those that DID swear loyalty look like fools every day when he contradicts them on twitter.
He's routinely insulted the intelligence of his "followers".
He's not a "showman", he's like any reality show star... a car wreck that people can't help but rubberneck and watch....
All he is is insults and lies, and it only exposes the ignorance of the average person that he managed to buy his way into office.
Not to mention he's a massive liar. Like the politician he is, he even lies about stuff he doesn't need to lie about like it not raining during his speech at his inauguration, saying something like (I paraphrase) "God looked down and said I'm not going to let it rain." Like wtf, I was there on the mall that day. It rained on his little speech. Dude just lies right to your face. And folks thought they weren't getting a politician. Ha. In addition to what you mention on the adultery, he's said straight up he doesn't ask god for forgiveness. An adulterous, unrepentant liar... who is, oddly enough, supported by much of the religious right. TBH, I agree with some of Trump's stuff, but one thing I like above all is him leading much of the right, especially religious right, astray as they gleefully clap and egg him on thinking this is some new dawn that is sustainable going forward. It's not. It's just the death throes or last hurrah of a way of life and worldview that is rapidly dying in the West and will soon enough be relegated to the history books.

Because he is pathological liar and con man.
He is sabotaging the ACA, ripping health insurance from 23M people, ending and reversing climate action, pulled out of the Paris Accords, has a budget of draconian cuts for the poor and tax cuts for the rich. That makes him a threat to the lives of millions of people, and the entire planet.
