@Timodc
The compulsion among coastal elite conservative writers to squint and try to find a way to blame smug libs for the vaccine catastrophe rather than the right wing media cesspool that these people swim in is really something to behold.

When they start to eat each other, I'll watch happily.

...they don't get to accuse ANYONE else of being "smug".

(357 posts)I meant the "coastal elite conservative writers" of course. The ones that call liberals "smug" but then kiss the ass of the most smug and arrogant human being that ever lived.
Sorry about the confusion.

(4,552 posts)I just want to clarify that he is not a Trumper, and never has been. I know he has worked for John McCain (briefly) and Jeb Bush, but not for Trump. He is the kind of Republican who drew a line at supporting Trump. Republicans who don't support Trump are still Republicans, of course, but at least this one is not a MAGA fascist, and does speak out against them and Trump on MSNBC. Just to be clear.

(19,204 posts)is like talking to my dog. He looks at me, pretends he's listening, but tilts his head and pants.
The same thing applies to an anti-vaxxer (only my dog is smarter). They pretend to know what I'm saying, but I might as well be talking to my dog. They have their minds made up, and it doesn't matter if I'm smug, cordial, nasty, or sweet as candy. They're not listening anyway, so what difference does it make?
They always blame "coastal elites", like there isn't a single conservative who has an education living on the coast.
