Remember when "Nigerian Prince" scams were all the rage? One would hit your inbox, riddled with spelling mistakes and implausibility, and you'd think "what idiot would fall for that?“.

But targeting idiots was the point. They weren't trying to write an email that smart people would fall for, because then they'd have to outsmart a smart person. That's much more likely to end in their time being wasted or spent in jail.

Well intentionally or not, the Republican party (and reactionary parties in general) have created the same kind of filter.

Who believes their terrible lies, convoluted psuedo-logic and frothy claims that using someone's preferred pronouns is a slippery slope to government-mandated sex is children? Dumbfucks. People who have made being a dumbfuck their entire personality.

And damn is it good for their messiahs. They'll just keep handing over whatever they've got -- even if you're already a multi-millionaire. They'll cover your legal fees, blow the rest on your guns and gasoline and still rush to your defense online.

It's incredible what the intolerant will tolerate if it's coming from the right person.
