If the issue is "because you support Donald Trump's empowerment, I no longer trust your character or your judgment," a Trump supporter may want to debate.
Their premise will be "to hold that opinion of me, you first need to convince me your opinion is right."
But you don't.
You don't need permission from a Trump supporter to believe that supporting Trump means their character is suspect and their judgment untrustworthy.
Your assessment of them is a fact. Their acceptance of that fact is immaterial. You don't even need to tell them.

Supporting Trump is such an unforgivable moral failing. It calls every bit of your judgement and character into question. Nothing about you should be trusted if you can look at this man and think "that's the one for me."
L'ATALANTE is, in my opinion, not half bad. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Watched it because it was the ranking film in the They Shoot Films Don't They 1000 list I had yet to see. What can I say? Most of the films so honored make the case for their placement obvious. This, while not without charms, did not.
I think the big mistake is making the husband a grump and a dick in almost every scene, then making the movie about getting them back together. Did not care about that a bit, don't think it's going to work out with them either way.
They get it and just keep going to events and encouraging people to not wear masks and engage in virus spreading behavior and sneering at people who try to prevent the spread.
I see the sense in suspending negative ads; strategically the optics could be bad & it's a campaign's job to manage that. But there would have been comfort in seeing some sign that the Biden camp understands just how ruthless we're going to have to be vs. the death cult in 2021.
There can't be the slightest bit of bipartisanship, no reaching across the aisle. Just pushing an aggressive agenda of badly-needed remediations, totally ignoring the people who created the problems because they wanted the problems.
And many, many, many legal consequences.
There is no healing without a full redress of the wrongs that caused the wounds. There can be no redemption without reparation. We can't forgive the harmed on behalf of the harmed.
Consequences and remediation. Aggressive bold and uncompromising.
I think it's worth a hard look in the mirror for media figures who looked at the melting-down president, down 7-9% in polls, losing swing states, now hospitalized with the virus he actively worked to spread across a failing America and thought, "the other guy should stand down."
