    To be fair, JD Vance doesn’t really know what a “fact” is. It’s not that he’s willfully ignorant; he doesn’t have the mental capacity to understand.

      Dismissing malice as stupidity is a dangerous move, and big part of how Trump is able to keep committing crimes against the US and its allies wile repeatedly getting the village-idiot pass again, and again, and again, and never being held accountable.

      It’s basically the RL version of the Darth Jar Jar theory: so long as play a convincing enough of a dumbass, people will let you commit crime after crime.
