There's nothing smug about having a basic sense of morals. The fact that many still see it as a matter of politics and "compromising" to make sure the other side doesn't "win" is why we're still in this mess (especially when the only real solution that will fix things on a general level is the type of thing that would get one banned on the internet). What the user you're replying to has been saying is that the real issue is between right and wrong.
The whole voting for the lesser evil thing in politics is a false dichotomy; they are both sides of the same coin. Yes yes, let us see our political choices: the candidate who approves of the murder of the unborn, or the one who stayed silent on it by delegating it as a state issue, knowing full well that addressing it would have lost him votes. The candidate who approves of genital mutilation, or the candidate who approves of genital mutilation (but only as long as the parents approve!). The candidate who supported the poison jab, or the candidate who supported the poison jab. The side that approves of sexual degeneracy, or the side that approves of sexual degeneracy (I'm always seeing posts and comments approving of Scott Presler and his "orientation" on TheDonald nowadays).
The fact that we need to appease the millions of people that approve of the murder of the unborn and all the other degenerate stuff shows that the root issue at hand clearly isn't a matter of politics. I have no doubt that Trump doesn't agree with all the degeneracy, but is only conceding for the sake of votes. But that's the thing; the country is already lost morally speaking when we have to "compromise" and concede to basic moral issues just to obtain a semblance of power, moral issues that our ancestors would have unhesitatingly gone to war over. And what's worse is that these compromises are done for the mere hope of some future greater good, a greater good mind you that will never be permanently assured. I'm not sure about you, but I don't think I could sacrifice on basic moral issues like this knowing full well that God is going to start asking me questions on this stuff one day.
