It was not, but the Trump campaign continuously lied about it. Trump lied and lied and lied about the democratic party being anti-men, anti-cis, anti-Christian, Kamala being low IQ, and whatever other stupid shit he could think about, but somehow it's Harris fault for being "too divisive" (not sure how). Trump is the incarnation of a thin-skinned bully, he allows himself the worst but will cry as loud as possible on the first sign of a backslash. If people who voted for him are not stupid, they certainly act like it.

And I view Kamala as a fake, policy flip-flopping, question dodging word salad spewer. > If people who voted for him are not stupid, they certainly act like it. This attitude of "you must be stupid if you don't see things my way" I expect on Reddit, but am disappointed to see it here.

    They literally said anyone who voted for Trump, which they obviously disagree with, is stupid or acts like it

      Then stop acting like it. They said, "People who support Trump". They never said, "People who disagree with me". Those are your own words. And there's a great deal of difference between those two clauses. I understand you want to shield yourself from criticism, by pretending you're merely in the "people who disagree with" camp and not in the "people who support Trump" camp. But trying to do that while putting words in someone's mouth lowers the quality of discourse here. And then to try claiming moral superiority by citing "This is HN, not reddit" is just ... transparently pointless. Also, you ruin your own argument by proving your parent correct.

They are closely related and I don't see as much difference as you do but okay, they are different clauses. I also believe saying someone is stupid for supporting Trump is wrong. You can disagree with a person's vote, try to point out why you think they are wrong, just ignore them but calling someone stupid has no benefit except maybe it makes the insulter feel good about their own superiority. > lowers the quality of discourse here. but calling me and over half the country stupid adds to the quality of discourse? > "This is HN, not reddit" is just ... transparently pointless.
