    I don’t think “stupid” is a helpful term, ever.

    However, with the things that are going on plausible deniability is getting harder and harder.

    At this point, you can’t say you aren’t aware of what this administration is doing.

      A lot of people don’t read or watch the news, or maybe they just watch Fox News sometimes. Or maybe they get their news from social media and where there’s algorithms that are designed to give us each the news we want to see.

      Everyone gets scammed sometimes. If you’re spending a lot of time on the internet and watching some influencers, you’re probably being scammed by some of them in some way. Maybe it’s just making you think some bullshit entertainment story is more important than it really is so you’ll continue watching. Or maybe you’re being scammed into supporting some horrible people, you’re just not aware of how horrible they are.

      What matters is if someone can admit they were wrong and work to make things right.
