    maga red hats aren’t the “useful idiots”.

    what red hats say may be idiotic (🤯), but they’re not duped. They vote for what they’re openly told. It’s not like Donald is hiding what he’s for.

    If you consider the historical examples, it would rather be the “uncommitted” democrats who are the “useful idiots” of the Republicans

      They were duped in the sense that they are voting against their own financial interests unless they are extremely wealthy. It is not unlike slugs voting for salt, in that way.

      They truly believe the poor will prosper, and those that don’t are just lazy.
