They are terrified of 'the other' so they lie to themselves and call it hate.

They overcompensate with arrogance, cruelty and control.

Some people obviously think that the country will be better if immigrants are deported, women can't get abortions for any reason, Black and brown people can't vote, religions other than evangelical Christianity are suppressed, wealthy people and corporations don't have to pay taxes, children's genitals are inspected before they can play sports in school, books acknowledging the existence of LGBTQ people are excluded from school and public libraries, and Republican presidents are the equivalent of kings.

They don't. In their own light they love it far more than we do. They also happen to share certain values with Trump (racism, anti-semitism, misogyny, and so on) that they want to see forced upon this country.
