Comment on Hard-right candidate who lost Romania’s presidential race contests results at top court
WatDabney@sopuli.xyz 1 day agoThe vast majority of them are that dumb. Even a surprising number of their politicians are genuinely dumb.
But yes - they’re most certainly not all dumb. The people at the top very much are not.
But even they realize that most of their supporters genuinely are dumb. In fact, they count on it.
As I said, it depends on where someone falls on the right-wing “credulous idiot to lying sack of shit” scale. They all fall somewhere along it, necessarily, with the rank and file almost entirely on the idiot end and the handful of genuine powers on the sack of shit end.

No, the vast majority of them, those who are in politics, are not dumb. Not only people at the top, but pretty much all of them are not dumb and underestimated them is exactly what they from people outside their user base.

Nah - sorry. I’m not buying it.
Granted that most of those at tte top are not dumb and are instead evil, greedy, power-hungry and entirely self-serving, most of the rank and file have to be dumb.
Either they’re so dumb that they think that the lies they’re told are true, or they know that they’re not true but go along with them anyway because they think that the face-eating weasels aren’t going to eat their faces, which is just a somewhat different sort of dumb.
