Something my dad said a while back, which he says is from a video he watched where a guy went around and asked... he said, what has Trump done as President to make you hate him? What policies did he enact, or what orders did he sign?
I have the world's worst memory so I can't list any off the top of my head although I'm sure that question can be answered as is, despite it being a loaded question and a Ben Shapiro arguing technique.
You can say someone deserves to go to jail for their conduct before becoming President-- I'm talking things like Trump's own grooming and pedophilia yet to be discovered in a legally-holdable capacity (but due to his ties to Epstein, it's all but certain). You can absolutely say you hate a guy because he's vocally misogynistic, bigoted, a white supremacist, a fascist, a wannabe dictator... And you have every right to say he shouldn't be President, he shouldn't have any kind of money or power, he shouldn't have command over the military or nuclear systems, and/or he shouldn't be representing us on the international stage.
People like my dad also like to pretend the January 6 insurrectionists were totally justified, that (at least) if they were right, that would be the thing to do. The key problem there is, they weren't right or justified, there's no way in hell they could have been. The lies that caused them to interrupt the transition of power as a result of a valid election, one of the most protected elections in the country's history, were completely baseless, solely inspired by their candidate losing, and had been tested thoroughly, yielding no substantial changes. Out of hundreds of lawsuits, only six of them succeeded. There were many more instances of out of court examinations and recounts as well, very few of which yielded any changes.
Maybe the "policy decision" you can say you hate Trump for is not declaring the insurrectionists domestic terrorists, which they were, and many of them are being criminally charged for it (and treason), but not enough.
When do "aiding and abetting a traitor against the United States" charges come in?
