The fuck? There are conspiracies about this already even though there was a live stream of it? What the fuck is wrong with people?

[-] HiddenLayer5@lemmy.ml 50 points 7 months ago

There are conspiracies that the earth is flat too. Humans can be profoundly stupid.

And religion + racism + fear of the unknown + social echo chambers can all be exploited. Remember that MTG floated a few years ago that space lasers caused California forest fires. Never mind the power requirements and ridiculousness that would require.

I think the woman is dangerous as hell, but I don't think she's stupid. I think she uses dumb ideas to mobilize an ignorant base.

You give her far too much credit, she's incredibly stupid. The people who feed her this bullshit might not be, but she is.

Idk I think she’s stupid but I don’t think that makes her unwilling of a participant in her evil or less dangerous. She’s the voice of the bigoted idiots of America rather than someone selling to them.

No, she’s pretty stupid. If she wasn’t, she’d be Steve Bannon or something similar, but instead she’s the amalgamation of crazy stupid that she is
