Comment on Killing SNAP benefits now is demanding a Blue Congress next election.

Very few people are hopelessly and entirely stupid and many folks who don’t seem too bright can be quite cunning in specific fields and through certain lenses. A person might not be able to multiply double digits and yet still have an innate understandings of stuff like leveraging social currency, speaking in a way that makes others want to listen, or even more mundane things like intuitively taking to carpentry or specific artforms.
I see her as an odd combination of generally dull, socially clever, and desperately self-centered (which appears to be a boon to her abrasive but surprisingly effective social skills, because ofc it does and we are living in 🤡🌎). Regardless of whatever tf goes on in her haunted head, she is a very weird and frustrating lady. That much is crystal clear.
