Good observation. This could be viewed as a kind of satire, aimed at the people who would violently attack him if he weren't part of a "protected" group. On the other hand, he's part of a protected group because the same people believe he's too stupid or weak to be held to the standards of real people. So maybe it's satire back on him.
Or maybe he's really, dictionary-definition stupid.
I’d go with genuinely stupid if pressed. He just doesn’t seem smart enough to wipe consistently much less carry out a subversive psyops campaign.
