via They’re Not Stupid, and They’re Not Spineless. They’re Evil. Let’s Keep That Straight.

In reading comments left on various social media forums, one often sees Republican politicians described as “stupid”, “clownish”, “ignorant”, “spineless”, “cowards”, “gutless” and the like. We see them ridiculed for believing in conspiracy theories and for believing Trump’s breathtaking lies.

To this I say: get real.

Yes, a great many Republican officials do deserve the descriptions above. Louie Gohmert in particular is one of the most wretchedly idiotic adults of whom I have ever heard. But let’s cut through all of the idiocy and nonsense he and other Republicans spout.

They KNOW they’re lying. They know Trump is lying.

They do NOT believe the idiotic conspiracy nonsense they babble about.

They are FULLY AWARE of what they are doing.
