Here is what I see when someone supports the current administration:

Brutal separation of children from their families. And before you say "Obama built those cages.. True, but it was in response to a wave of teen and pre tees showing up alone at the border in 2018 or so. The Obama administration did not have any other way to deal with these...
... children. In the current administration, it has become clear that they intentionally separated children from their parents to inflict fear and terror on these people. Stephen Miller engineered this program.
Destroying our public lands. There has been a push to remove as many protections as possible. The heads of the EPA and BLM are both land snatch specialists. All consideration for the safety of the people that live near these operations has gone out the window...
... All consideration of the heritage of the land has been set aside. Sacred lands are being destroyed so that a few of Trumps donors can get more wealthy.
Embracing hatred and white nationalism. Trump has had dozens of opportunities over the course of the last 4 years to condemn racism. He has done the opposite. From the very start of his career, he was fighting off lawsuits for racist business practices...
His words do not match his actions. He is a racist. He fans the flames of the racism in this country to polarize his base.
NOTE: Many of my friends, family and my girlfriend are minorities. The racism that has been given permission to flourish is a direct attack against them.

This administration's Covid19 response has been horrific. Trump and his family have made this pandemic about personal enrichment. They have downplayed and outright denied the existence of the virus to push people back to work and school so that big business could continue...
to profit. They also removed all the oversight on programs like the PPP so that they could squeeze as much money as possible out of it...
... Also, repeatedly linking the virus to Asians with terms like "China Virus, Asian Flu, Wuhan Flu, Kung Flu, Etc" have given rise to hate crimes against Asians. Completely un-presidential.
Trump is a rapist and a misogynist. He is a cheater.
Trump and his allies have done more to disrupt an election than any other President is the history of this Union. His repeated lies about mail in ballots, "legal" ballots, the mail service have been very damaging...
... The efforts of lackeys like DeJoy to reduce people's access to fair and safe voting are criminal and Un-American. His continued campaign to disenfranchise voters in the courts is also Un-American.
There is more, much more. This president has made America ugly, divided and has allowed hate to flourish.
I cannot reconcile the idea that anyone I am close to would support any one of these things. Even the excuse that "I voted Trump because I support his financial policies" is hollow and meaningless when, at the same time...
you are supporting all the other evil that comes with that man. It's a package deal.
I am not part of that package. (end)
