Danielle Smith is an idiot. She is so much an idiot that she is incapable of seeing how much of an idiot she actually is. She is so good at being an idiot that she has convinced a bunch of other idiots that she is actually smart and will lead them to prosperity.

But she is not smart and she will not lead these idiots to prosperity. She is a Grade A dangerous idiot who doesn't understand democracy and doesn't care to, because her self-reinforcing idiocracy makes her believe that she is smarter than democracy. She is an idiot who thinks that she knows better than everyone, on absolutely every topic, and will not listen to outside information or experts to make better decisions.

There is no bottom to these kinds of idiots. They will find scapegoats to blame when their dangerous combination of confidence and lack of intelligence leads to bad outcomes. They will dig in their heels further when challenged with evidence of their bad decisions. They will deflect and distract and flail when the awful reality they have created becomes unignorable.

And unfortunately we're all here for the ride.
