Wrong, I think the Dems are very smart. Not the Congress critters necessarily, but rather than supportive Liberal infrastructure that gives them life and foundation.
That Infrastructure has systematically, over decades, changed the rubric of America. Things that were anathema 40 years ago are now common-place. They’ve taken over the education system since they early 70s. They have relegated religion to the background, and a young kid reading a Bible at recess would probably be considered a danger to society. If you look at media and entertainment it has been massively shifted - there are children’s cartoons and books that espouse a gay narrative. Even politically things have shifted - many Conservative politicians today are more liberal than Democrats from the 1960s!
No, I do not think the enemy is stupid. Not at all.
I think they are very clever and highly strategic, and one of the things we need to do is to realize we are facing a persistent and capable adversary and thus treat them accordingly.
Seeing them as stupid works to their advantage.
Hubris and arrogance make it worse.
