I'll pitch in.
Those bullet points are hyperbole but I believe things that aren't too long a walk from those things.
Not all Trump supporters are racist - that's way too broad a brush. But there sure are a ton of racists who happen to be Trump supporters.
As far as inherently lacking compassion, that's a legit critique of some conservative positions. At least how they're currently constructed. If you brush off children in literal cages as "just enforcing our laws/securing our borders"... if you complain about people being on food stamps or Medicaid so they can eat or have healthcare... If you reply that your murdered countrymen are "the cost of freedom" after a mass shooting... if you try to scrap Meals on Wheels funding to save $$$ in your budget (100% Trump's call, not conservatives)... If you decide to ban trans people from the military claiming without a lick of support they're not fit to serve... If you do your best to discredit or undermine those claiming to be victims of sexual assault or actively support credibly accused sexual assaulters because it's good for your team... people are going to perceive a systemic lack of empathy within your movement. But it's important to note this stuff all occurs on a spectrum from "broad support from the GOP as a whole" to "only supported or voiced by the most toxic sh#thead in the movement." By no means can you attribute these behaviors or positions to all conservatives.
As far as sexism goes, I'm not sure if this is sexism or just trolling. Liberals have their pink hats but you won't see many of them wearing anything like this.
