To be honest this is our biggest failing as conservatives. We ascribe too much intelligence and advanced planning to our foes.
They ARE dumb sometimes, and fatally dumb at others.
They promoted THIS vaccine. THIS one.
Dumb.
They have in office JOE BIDEN. I repeat. JOE BIDEN.
Catastrophically dumb.
We need to stop dreamcasting that that they are playing 4D chess or whatever. They are not, and if they are, they are pretty bad at it. They are bad at it because they are fatalistically bad at understanding human nature. We are much--I repeat, much MUCH better at understanding human nature than they are.
But we cut ourselves off at the knees over and over by ascribing to them much more than they deserve. With all due respect, we really need to stop.
