To use a blunt force instrument - would you vote for Hitler if he lined up with all your positions? NOT that Trump is Hitler or even close, but at some point character matters and I'm not talking minor stuff.
As you've probably seen, all Trumpletons are going to "understand" is you've compared Trump to Hitler. Going all hysterical, the second phrase is being dismissed / ignored - almost as if it weren't there.
Let's have a closer look:
1. The Fuehrer's word is / trumps the law of the land.
2. The German Reich first!
3. Those people (Jews, illegal immigrants, minorities...) are our downfall.
4. The White / Aryan race needs to be protected.
5. (Social) Democracies and international institutions are a plague on the earth.
6. The only language the world understands, and the only tool guaranteeing a country's success, is that of military might.
7. Other countries have taken advantage of / ill-treated the homeland. Revenge will be exacted for that.
8. Institutions deserve to be honored, respected, and preserved only insofar as they are prepared, able, and willing to reinforce the Fuehrer's will.
With that in mind, take a look at the Trumpletons around here, and find me one who doesn't agree with most, if not all of the above, and who didn't vote for Trump - even while grinning and chortling (occasionally whining crocodile tears) about the man's glaring character flaws.
Anyway, the better question would have been: "With a liberal on the other side, would you vote for a vulgar misogynist, racist, sociopath, and narcissistic megalomaniac (e.g. Hitler / Trump)? The question pretty much has been answered in the affirmative.
Not inviting the Speaker of the House - number two in the line of succession - was a kindergarten move, justified with a kindergarten "justification": She started it. That's misogyny and disrespect for the institutions the Constitution creates all folded in one, and Trumpletons couldn't be any giddier.
