    What? How am I being smug by just pointing out that falling for a con is… Falling for a con? Trump is a well, well, well documented con man. Like… Maybe the most well documented con man ever. It’s really hard to feel bad for anyone who voted for him getting screwed over.

      Love the ‘how am I being smug?!’ followed by the classic smug victim blaming.

      Both Dem and GOP supporters are being conned. Neither of you are in a position to be pointing fingers at the other.

        To be clear, I don’t blame people who fall for scams or cons. I did say it’s hard to feel bad for Trump voters specifically, but that’s a pretty special circumstance as I tried to describe.

        All I said was that falling for a scam or con is falling for a scam or con.

            Why do you presume to know who I voted for? Or that I’m even American?

            I really don’t think we share the same definition of smug. Have a good day.
