[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS is a junior at Princeton. He’s a quiet Trump supporter and says many of his classmates are as well. It would be hypocritical to shame them for voting differently while also touting democracy.  [/quote]

First, no one can shame anyone. Shame is a feeling you have inside because of how you feel about the information you have before you. It is internal, not external.

Second, disagreeing with someone's vote is not "shaming" them. Saying so is a victim mentality (i.e., "You made me feel this way.") If you are confident in your vote, no one can make you feel ashamed of it.

Finally, if you understand Trump's platform to be anti-democracy, then it is not hypocritical to tout democracy and point out to Trump voters that they are voting against democracy. If the Trump voter is ashamed of that (and I seriously doubt they are), it's because they feel inside that they've done something wrong.[/quote]

[i]To shame[/i] is an act performed by another. [i]To feel ashamed[/i] is not the same thing.

Clearly projecting and suffering from a victim mentality yourself. [/quote]
