Haley Robson, a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse, voted for President Donald Trump in the past but is now calling for him to be impeached over the handling of the Epstein files.
It’s not quite as simple as stupidity. I think it’s poor critical thinking, plus a strong resistance to questioning their own beliefs. Combined, those things do appear to be stupidity, but there’s a difference.
I don’t exactly know, but I’ve met conservatives who are highly skilled in their own complex fields of expertise. They can’t possibly be stupid and still be good at their jobs.
I think dismissing people as “stupid” just helps build barriers. We need to understand why conservatives do what they do. Why do they consistently vote against their own interests? Why are compassion and empathy seen as weaknesses?
Bob Altmeier makes the argument that it’s not that they can’t think, it’s that they were taught not to. It helps reduce conflict when the people above you get things wrong.

They are stupid. They don’t have to be stupid about everything to be stupid about their voting choices. They vote conservative/Republican/whatever against their own interests for a wide variety of reasons from it being the one their parents voted for all the way to dumb shit like ‘owning the libs’ because it makes them feel like they are on a team with people as stupid as they are. If they weren’t stupid they would notice the fat fucking orange turd who can’t string words into a coherent sentence is the face of the party tearing down every positive thing the country does.
They are stupid in lots of different ways. Can’t fix stupid. We need to motivate the unengaged voters by having the party farther to the left actually stand up and accomplish things in a way they get credit for.

Combined they appear to be stupidity because they are stupidity.
What else would stupidity be?
