They know. They're cynical, not stupid. They just don't like that this push puts an uncomfortable spotlight on them. Why is it suddenly a problem when you've been accepting it for YEARS from your Fuhrer?

I like the take, I think it’s backwards though. Trump’s incoherent posts are keeping him in the spotlight, Newsome is stealing it. A couple more folks doing it and his voice could be dramatically diminished digitally. It’s nowhere near as good as a Twitter ban, but the idea is the same theoretically

Only a few. (Hannity, Watters and Gutfeld for example) The rest are not stupid. That's why they're worse than the cult. They know EXACTLY what they're doing.

Nope. 'Judge' Boxwhine is an utter moron. As is Cuntass Owens. As is Koathanger Kegs Kavanaugh. As is Rapey Greg Kelly. The list is long. Even those who 'aren't stupid' only have low cunning and greed--very much like their mentor Pussy Ass Bitch.

Yes, Perrino isn't stupid. That's why this is a really bad look for her. It's always a bad look being a Trump sycophant.

yeah so many (i thought) non-idiot conservatives have seemingly gone zombie. i'll never understand it. i hated bush, and he was a war criminal, but he never would have tried to dismantle the country. nobody would, until now. what is going on causing regular (i thought) conservatives to accept this?

Very few of the women there are as stupid as they pretend to be. The Daily Show did an exposé on it, particularly how Gretchen Carlson, when she was still working there, pretended to be a moron but is highly intelligent and a master musician. The audience thinks women should be there to be pretty

“Yes, Perrino isn't stupid.” Perino once stated, out loud, that “there were no terrorist attacks on US soil” under president George W. Bush. I beg to differ.

I'd go with "stupid", but I get that the word has connotations. A fuller explanation might include thoughts about her world view, and human psychology. One could say she's not thinking clearly. Like people who still believe in god. In 2025. If you don't think clearly all the time, "stupid" fits.

You're right. Gavin Newsom has been married twice. He was first married to Kimberly Guilfoyle from 2001 to 2005. He has been happily married to Jennifer Siebel since 2008.

It's not hard to fake having a lack of ethics if you don't have any ethics. It's also not hard to fake being that stupid and propagandized, again, if you don't have any ethics, or you can do the real thing if you're gullible.

No, she's just playing stupid for the Trump/MAGA crowd. She was once in the Bush administration and was actually pretty sensible. Then she went to FOX News and that says it all.

Theyre not stupid. Stupidity is an out. Theyre intentionally malicious, hoping you think their stupid because stupid gets punished less than intentional malice. Youre falling for their trap.

I’ve answered this already, but in 300 characters it’s hard to get into a nuanced convo about what exact flavor of “stupid” they are. Stupidity comes in many forms & doesn’t always mean uneducated/ignorant. I’m comfortable w/my assessment. Also, you’ve got a “their” where a ´they’re” should be 🤷♀️

They actually are very stupid though. Like, it's true that most of what they do is driven by nuclear grade cynicism. But it's cynicism forced through a fine mesh of stupidity

"From the very beginning we distrusted party members, Hetty later wrote, 'those in our mountain village as much as any in Munich and Berlin. They tended to be second- or third-rate characters, adventurers, layabouts and profiteers." --"From a Village In The Third Reich" book Sound familiar?

I beg to differ on the “they’re not stupid” part. As a whole, gauged by average, I would not bet on above lukewarm intelligence/intellect. You can go to Princeton, Brown or Yale and be dumb as dirt with no morals (ambiguous, but I stand on the latter).
