    It’s always funny to see the MAGA true believer politicians getting burned. The cynical assholes like Cruz and Graham I can understand, they either visibly got on the bandwagon or lost their seats… but somehow MTG is this dumb and also managed to get elected.

    To clarify, everyone who supports Trump (truthfully or in appearance only) is a huge fucking asshole for putting personal well being in front of us having a democracy and a litany of other reasons… but some of these politicians are slimy assholes and some are just fucking dumb.

      Have you ever heard of a guy called Herman Cain?

        Yup, thankfully he was too much of an idiot to ever win an election though he got closer than I’d hope. Mike Lindell is a similar idiot but thankfully he’s getting justice.

        I don’t believe most of the are dumb, just play dumb because their strengths are in manipulation.

        In MTG and Beoberts case (amoung others), there doesn’t seem to be a hidden intelligence, just high school bully tactics of reading the room and saying whatever despicable thing the crowd wants to hear to continue bullying.

        I.E., the only discernable skill I’ve seen is how to stay in the clique of mean people and direct their hate to anyone else. Like your stereotypical cheerleader / sorority villian.

          Cruz pretended to not understand why we signed the Paris Accord by playing dumb about Paris not being part of America. The guy has an elite education. He just knows his supporters are fucking morons and that they won’t look up anything.
