They're the ones that voted for it. It's also much more than just uninformed. Many of these people enjoy the suffering and plight of "liberals" or anyone who isn't in their cult. Many are unapologetic bigots.
I do wish harm on them, because they deserve it. They have all the info they need to not be cruel. Many of them choose to be cruel because they enjoy it. I've seen it firsthand, many many many times.
I hope you don't feel you're any better than them, then. Because hate begets hate. You should attack bigotry, you should attack the hateful ideology, but you can't assume that every Trump voter even understood the impact of what they chose. The entire media ecosystem and education system in this country are explicitly designed to keep us from understanding how things work. The vitriol isn't going to solve anything.
Paradox of tolerance applies here. Your "argument" amounts to nothing but the usual right wing lies of "so much for the tolerant left". A tolerant society requires intolerance towards the intolerant. It is not that difficult to grasp.
I've always disliked that this is called a "paradox". It's more of a linguistic issue more than logic. The statement is just as well "we dislike malice". No paradox there.
