The weird thing is that up and down this thread, you can get the feeling that people are bigots, but they feel "oppressed" because they can't openly state those feelings in the public square or at work.
Cool, let's rephrase. If you want respect don't admit to being prejudiced against the way people are born. Being prejudiced against choices people make is completely fine.
Because Trump supported white supremacists?
Because Trump has a proven history of treating women like objects?
And these are not allowed ps of the tongue, these were systematically repeated sentiments.
If you choose to support him, you support these things as well.
As far as women, framing Trump as a big meanie who says mean words totally ignores what he and his administration have actually done for women in the aggregate.

Lack of empathy is expected from people defending mob justice.
Also, not accepting that people consider Trump a better presidental candidate is bigotry exactly, by definition from the dictionary.
The fun fact about the word "bigotry" is that people who use "bigotry" as insults are very often bigots themselves.

> If you want respect
I'm sorry for not expressing clearly. People want freedom more than respect. In particular, freedom to express support of Trump.
> If you want respect don't admit to being prejudiced against the way people are born.
I'm sorry, I don't see a connection between your comment and parent comment.

Assuming that everyone who prefers Trump over Biden is prejudiced against the way people are born, is still bigotry.
Not treating people with respect, regardless of their views, is also bigotry.
