If people are going to vote for Trump just because other people hate him, then they are voting for really irrational reasons, and there's probably not much that could have been done to reach them in any event.

Same as the people who say they're voting for Biden solely because they hate Trump and want him out. That's just as irrational. Like you said though, there's not much you can do for anyone who operates this way.

Except in this case, Trump is the incumbent President. At this point, voters have had four years to evaluate his performance, and a lot of people have found his governing ability to be severely wanting in the first term, to say the least. So for those people who deeply despise Trump and what he has done, or not done, during his first term as President, it is not at all irrational to want to fire him and turn the Presidency over to somebody who will hopefully not screw things up even worse. Trump had his chance. Biden, on the other hand, has yet to serve in office. 

There is also a difference between voting for a candidate because you don't like the other guy, and voting for a candidate because you don't like the members of your community, state, or country who don't support your guy and you hope that your guy will pass laws and policies that will harm them.
