Their defining characteristic is evil, not stupidity...

The issue isn't mere lack of intelligence. It's people who think they can only advance by harming others. Their main complaint about Trump is that he's not doing that enough: "he's not hurting the people he's supposed to be hurting".

― Lyndon B. Johnson
