They know. They're pretending not to in hopes of fooling the booze-addled MAGAs who haven't gotten up out of their recliners for five hours.

Going Newsom has started posting that way hoping the MAGA gang will be able to understand him more clearly.

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

They’re cynical AND stupid

Their target audience is for sure

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.

You forgot Watters.

Dana for sure knows it. She’s not dumb.

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.

Hannity isn't stupid.

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, FOX has them all playing the "dumb blond" role, even though several of them are intelligent in real-life or the non-FOX world.

“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.

Blurring history. Millions of culties forget that Covid was during Thumper and they blame Biden.

If she said that, then you do have a good point.

Perino didn’t know what the Cuban Missile Crisis was when she was W’s press secretary. She is stupid.

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.

She’s thirsty, if I were his wife, please 😆

Funny she doesn't ask the same question of Trump's contractually obligated, MIA "wife"...

Be better, am I right?!

Be Best ™️

Eeeeuuuwwwww.... yuk.

she thinks she got a shot, i mean he did date gargyole. but he dodge a serious fucking bullet jettisoning that rat. HE NOT INTO YOU PERINO!!

He was married to her

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.

Are we sure about that? Maybe she really is just that stupid and propagandized.

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.

True. Also true: They know exactly what’s going on, but they’re playing pretend because it’s better for their livelihoods.

With a large portion of cognitive dissonance thrown in.

This is correct.

They're hypocritical, cynical, and stupid.

They are stupid and totally lacking in any self awareness whatsoever. They are the very definition of malignant narcissists.

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 🤷‍♀️

Bingo!

Stunical. Cynupid.

you sure about that?

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

🤷‍♂️

Oh they are stupid.

"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?

They are stupid AND cynical. And a few other things.

She seems pretty stupid, just saying or she is a fabulous actress and should move on to Movies 🎬

they have done this for so long that now, they're actually starting to believe their own bullshit

They’re NOT CYNICAL. They’re CAPTURED PROPAGANDA PUSHERS. THEY KNOW THEY ARE FULL OF SHIT. They just don’t care.

They're pretty stupid. If they wanted to go after Gavin there are very easy to reach for critiques they could use instead of walking into the most obvious trap of all time.

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).

They're stupid

Starting to think some of them really are just that stupid. Wow, she says this with such conviction. I do wonder if she really does not understand that he is only mirroring trump.

They also don’t like to see democrats coming together, especially around Newsom. Republicans want to keep us divided.

I have serious doubt about the "not stupid" part

Conservatives do not understand comedic parody. That’s what makes it even funnier.

More like mimicking.

😂

She wouldn't dare say that about trump who has been doing that for years🙄

You mean the dim bulbs?

These same people probably thought Colbert was being his real self on the Colbert Report. I can't wrap my mind around the utter cluelessness of these idiots.

I think they’re trying to mitigate the hit Trump is taking from the ridicule that Newsom and his team are heaping on him. Some of the MAGATs won’t see that the tweets point out how inane Trump is, leaving him no way to respond.

😂😂

That's the funniest part, they're sooo offended by someone duplicating Trumps owe words🤣🤣

ever heard of gaslighting? they know

What is even funnier is that they are so dumb, they cannot even figure that out

Ha ha ha ha ha

Too complicated

Dana Perino, a graduate of Colorado State University. I’m a 3rd generation graduate of this school and my blood boils whenever I see her on TV. SMH

Well no one's allowed to copy Trump, them's the rules.

Its a marxist tactic. Turn everything round. I had never heard of it til these goons
