Oh, I don’t think there’s any doubt at all that he’s one of the most fantastically, hilariously stupid people on these boards. The only question is _what kind_ of stupid he is.

Take his current behavior in the Kimmel-Kirk thread. He’s doggedly, tenaciously sticking to the GOP line that Kimmel’s comments were outrageous lies about the assassin, and he’s stubbornly refusing to acknowledge\* any factual counterargument that Kimmel actually said no such thing.

\*“Stubbornly refusing to acknowledge facts no matter how laboriously explained or clearly cited,” incidentally, is his consistent throughline, if you re-read the thread above.

But what is the _nature_ of his stupidity?

Has he, himself, uncritically swallowed the GOP talking points, and he lacks the analytical capacity to reexamine or reconsider them in light of actual evidence?

Or is he aware that those talking points are false, and he’s knowingly attempting to sell us the same bill of goods that’s being forced down the throats of the rest of the country, foolishly believing that we’ll accept the lie if it’s repeated enough?

Ultimately it doesn’t really matter, because either way he’s a brick wall. But it is a question.
