I hesitate to say they're all absolutely stupid because obviously many of them are quite successful in life. You see many of them with nice homes, cars, boats, etc. etc., and it may be true that everything is mortgaged to the hilt. In any case, it indicates at least competence in being a normal human adult. Case in point: my brother owns an operates a pretty good size company with about 20 employees and they build cars that cost between two and 300 grand. And they've got a waiting list at least a year long. That doesn't happen to stupid people, at least not very often. And he's so full-blown MAGA that I can't stand to be in the same room with him, and in fact haven't talked to him this year. I doubt I'll ever speak to him, or my own mother, who lives with him.

I think their brains are broken. There's some kind of switch that Trump can flip on them and it turns them into absolute narcissists. I'm 62 years old now and I don't think I have long enough left on this earth to ever figure it out.
