GOP stupidity is just… so fucking exhausting. Especially since so much of it is deliberate.
I mean, all the GOP response to gun violence has been idiotic, but so many seem to be seem to be trying to out-stupid each other. Steve Scalise comparing shootings to 9/11, saying that we didn’t have a debate about banning planes, despite the fact that they were used to kill thousands of people… As if we didn’t completely transform transportation without debate as a result - and often arbitrarily banning people from flying on planes entirely, without due process, for example.
And the stupidity is often wrapped up in advancing fascism. I think what Gohmert Pile is getting at here, is that if only the state indoctrinated kids in (his) religion, they’d have the moral sense not to mass murder people. Because (his) religion is the only source of morality, and thus justifies forcibly indoctrinating/converting people.
