    There’s a large swath of dumbassery in the current congress, especially the house and especially since maga, but don’t make the mistake of thinking that all cons are dumb. Tons of the senators are lawyers. They aren’t ignorant of the law, they’re evil people using the law to line their pockets and make the world a worse place. Turtle McConnell couldn’t have been grifting in politics for 137 years if he was stupid.

      Trump is in politics and worshipped and protected by these people and he’s a complete buffoon. They’re idiots. Period.

        He’s a useful idiot. The intelligent people on the conservative side understand that he’s a moron, it’s just with his popularity and lack of ethics, they can get him or his admin to do whatever corrupt shit they want. All that really matters to them is that whoever they run gets elected so they can steal/swindle money somehow.

        So your argument is that bc one stupid populist got elected, none of the evil shit conservatives do is done intelligently?

          If a person supports an idiot as a leader, they’re clearly not a smart person. So you can follow this simple rule:

          It takes an idiot to elect an idiot.
