re: #226 Hecuba’s daughter

It all depends on your definition of smart. Most Trumpsters of my acquaintance would score higher on an IQ test. But when it comes to tests of gullibility, they would all fail. The information they accept is filtered and even if they read other viewpoints, it is automatically rejected because they are embedded in the cult. And they are basically racists at their core who support the preservation of the confederate statues because “heritage”. They are not the WWC but they still think Trump is brilliant.

I would consider them an example of the smart idiot effect, or willfully ignorant/stupid (which is really the worst kind).
