I'll give Republicans credit for one thing ...

[NanceGreggs]

... they know how stupid the average Republican voter is.

"The January 6th insurrection was a normal tourist day."

"The 2020 election was stolen, despite a complete lack of evidence thereof."

"The FBI raid on Mara-Lago was about nothing more than a 'document dispute'."

The PTB in the GOP know that these kinds of soundbytes will be swallowed whole by their constituents, washed down with a hefty swig of Kool-Aid, and driven home with a few carefully-crafted statements about "the deep state", "political persecution", and "Hunter Biden's laptop".

When it comes to the GOP, you can't fault them for not knowing exactly how pathetically easy it is to manipulate their "base" - the low-IQers, the hopelessly gullible, the proudly ill-informed, and the dumbest people on the planet.

1. Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people

When an indictment comes, the details in that indictment will put this all to rest for 80% of the country. Even the MAGAs in congress will admit it's a crime.

2. Ummmmmmmmmmmm .......

"Even the MAGAs in congress will admit it's a crime"

I have very little faith with this comment.

Also, now we know why GQP hates education.

[Willto]

7. You....

....have far greater faith in the MAGA's in congress being willing to admit such a harsh unfavorable truth about their orange Jesus than I do. My experience with them is that they would deny gravity existed if it suited their purposes.

[whathehell]

18. No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of ANY people

..just sayin'.

[IngridsLittleAngel]

3. Now admitting they're Nazis and terrorists?

[samplegirl]

4. Dumber than a box

of rocks.

[CousinIT]

5. There's a reason Republicans hate and continue wanting to defund public education.

Civics, critical thinking, logic, basic literacy, US government...all subjects GOP voters flunked or were never taught.

6. You left out Soros. Surely, he is in the middle of this!

8. Spot on, as always.

9. What is PTB?

I looked for what the letters stand for, but can't figure it out. Thanks

16. "Proudly ill-informed"

I love that phrase. That really says it all.

[Marcuse]

17. Just more buzzwords for the ignorati.

[FakeNoose]

19. Which is it: are they stupid, or gullible, or brainwashed?

One could make a case for all three of these possibilities.

[Ohioboy]

20. Precisely why republicans are bad for the republic and democracy

Our system requires truth, informed voters, and honest officials. Today's republicans are too willing to smother the truth, misinform their voters, and support con men like Trump.

[Oldtimeralso]

21. Sadly I just moved to a rural state.

Where the trumpanziees don't want STEM or common core education, they want to censor library books. Their preachers are the source of the word of God. The new christalabain doesn't want critical thinking. OMG.🙈🙉🙊

22. He's a carnival huckster who

convinces his lowest common denominators he's on their side.

They spend the afternoon shelling out a week's pay to him, and in return, walk away with a little stuffed pony and a participation sticker for their blind loyalty.
