PS: It’s not “smug” to note actual demographic trends and how they correlate with political views. It’s data and science. Although I recognize that even this simple statement will somehow be evidence to you of “smugness.” - GF

Sorry, I wasn't clear, here was my ambiguous comment:

Fine if you believe the only the college educated are smart enough to realize the evil that is Trump. OK by me, so we disagree.

What I meant was I disagree that Trump is evil, not that most college educated skew blue and hate Trump.

Now, on to my comment on smugness. Lets start with recalling the post I was commenting on:

Whereas the college-educated people prefer Nikki Haley and Biden - besides learning new skills, college also gave them moral values like integrity, compassion and civility. - mechinv

There is nothing smug or unusual about liberals expressing their hatred of Trump is all sorts of creative ways. Ho hum. I think smugness (or elitism if you prefer) enters the picture when a supposition is made that a college education confers integrity, compassion, and civility with the implication these qualities are less prevalent in the non college educated population.
