Never mind....

Of course we should...because they are all just that stupid and believe stupid stuff and a Republican vote should be a ticket to Prison. Because Republicans are stupid.

Only Democrats are clean and pure. My bad, for suggesting otherwise.
My friend, let's dismantle the strawman. Here's a question relevant to your assertions: Are these signs of intelligence?

Why do some still deny Biden’s 2020 victory? Here’s what the data says (Opinion, WaPo, Subscription) "According to a November poll from the Public Religion Research Institute, 68 percent of Republicans believe the election was “stolen” from Donald Trump. Only 6 percent of Democrats and 26 percent of independents say the same.";

The Red/Blue Divide in COVID-19 Vaccination Rates (Kaiser) "As of September 13, 2021, 52.8% of people in counties that voted for Biden were fully vaccinated compared to 39.9% of Trump counties, a 12.9 percentage point difference (Figure 1).";

Politicizing the Mask: Political, E...fecting Mask Wearing Behavior in the USA (NIH) "Empirical results provide evidence that the tendency to wear a mask while in public is significantly lower in counties where then-candidate Donald Trump found strong support during the 2016 presidential election. In addition, states with mask-wearing mandates tend to witness greater mask-wearing behavior."

I would think that stupidity is defined by deliberately doing/believing things that are contrary to reality or your own personal interests. It's not a minority - it is THE MAJORITY of party members.

A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.

Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich
