that there is a big difference between you and Trumpers.
Many Trumpers have been very vocal about relishing the suffering that they know they are directly causing. They hate and want people to suffer because of what they look like, where they came from, or who they love. They have created a hierarchy of people which is based on gender, skin color, country of origin, and sexual orientation and, no matter what, they consider themselves the top of that hierarchy.
You do not hate people for those reasons. You do not have an arbitrary hierarchy that puts you at the top and everyone who is different from you below you. You have come to hate specific groups of people for direct actions they have and are taking which are explicitly designed to hurt other people just because those other people are different.
Trumpers hate the group regardless of behavior.
You hate the behavior and, because entire groups are engaging in those behaviors, you are coming to hate the group.
You are not "rejoicing in owning" Trumpers - you are rejoicing in Trumpers experiencing the direct repercussions of actions they have taken which have the intention of harming others (or benefiting themselves above others).
When a child misbehaves, a parent punishes them to teach them that their behavior is a problem. Bad parents hit their children. Better parents give them a time out. The Trumpers have misbehaved. The system is hitting them. You have no control over that punishment, you are not causing that punishment, and you can't stop that punishment. You do recognize that they should be punished if there is any chance they will learn anything. It would not be your choice to punish them in this way because you know that pain and suffering are not always the best teachers. But that doesn't mean you don't see them as deserving of some punishment. Given the magnitude of the pain and suffering that their misbehavior has caused others, it is normal to not feel a lot of compassion for the pain and suffering they are causing themselves.
That doesn't mean that it feels good - for liberals not feeling compassion for others feels very uncomfortable. But it does not mean you are as bad as a Trumper.
