I haven't seen as many accusations of self-righteousness and sanctimony since I used to frequent the old AOL political chats and boards. The liberals used to constantly hurl them at conservatives.
I'm not saying Trump supporters are liberals, but it's interesting, nevertheless.
What's interesting to me is that, liberal or not, these people think that it's an effective tool in either persuading or bullying someone into compliance with their will.
I especially find the term "self-righteous" revealing, since the ones they're trying to insult with the term are actually the people who believe in their own sinfulness, and that the only righteousness is in God, through Jesus Christ, and that they, themselves, believe their own opinion is superior to a morality that goes back to the beginning of time.
It's another case of black being white and right being wrong.
If we didn't believe in an absolute moral code, not of our own design, we would be more "malleable" and willing to allow Trump's lack of morality and decency to not be a factor for us.
It is the Trump crowd who believes in their own righteousness, and not those of us who find his lack of morality and ethics deplorable.
