It’s the latter. They started that ball rolling themselves post-Nixon by specifically and intentionally pandering to the stupidest voter segment. Now that’s amplified to the point the whole party is comprised of useless idiots a few of which happily use the others to further selfish goals. The Democrat party is not far behind either. It’s like a memetic STD.
Comment on Sooo... What's Mike Pillow up to these days?

IIRC he’s trying to run for governor here in Minnesota.
I’m not sure which is a scarier thought. our GOP is not sending their best, or they are, and he’s their best.

Shamwow guy and MyPillow guy running for office on their “celebrity” cred is a level of stupid even Idiocracy couldn’t predict.
FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Right?
Like.
Shamwow guy is actually suing because they didn’t put “shamwow guy” on the primary ballot.
Like.
He knows we make fun of him for being the Shamwow guy, right?

I’m sure he knows, but it’s his claim to fame, the only thing that makes him a blip on the radar. Like a high school football star who crams himself into an old letterman’s jacket that’s now two sizes too small for the 20yr reunion.

You do? That doesnt really seem like a very good reason to make fun of him.

He monetized being an annoying dork.
