She can’t understand why I support Trump. She said I’m not poor, stupid or a hillbilly and she didn’t raise me to be a racist. And she gets enraged when I try to explain my reasons to her and starts yelling or hangs up the phone. Hopefully we don’t have to discuss politics 🙏

She is making judgements based on what she perceives to be people's intellect, socioeconomic status, and heritage. That's quite hateful for someone from the tolerant left. I'm sorry you have to deal with her misguided prejudices.
If the conversation does veer into Trump territory, ask her to provide concrete examples of how Trump is so bad. She will not be able to, of course. And she'll probably run screaming for the hills to boot. That's fine. Just keep calmly and respectfully repeating your request for tangible proof every time you speak with her.
As the flowing water smooths the stone, perhaps your consistent queries will help wear away some of her layers of programming.
