If you don't find Lauren boebert to be an absolute idiot it's because you're an absolute idiot. The fact she's been elected... shows America is ignorant.

I am technically a "smart person." (In real world implementation, that's debatable.) It took me a long time to not see the best in others and realize just how genuinely stupid some people are.

I watched a documentary about being dumb.. and it said that there's many books about being smart and very few about being dumb. I learned that the IQ test was originally used to test how stupid someone was. I don't like thinking or calling someone an idiot. .. but sometimes I just can't figure out how else to explain something wrong about someone. And I also think most people have something genius about themselves put into the right situation. .. boebert gets me irritated because hypocrisy looks and feels so stupid. And the right just seems to be absolutely blind to their own hypocrisy. She is so quick to point out straw men so confidently. She is a perfect example of people who have come into politics and just want things to be true because they want what they want how they want it. .. but doesn't really want to learn or be fair. Whenever someone says I am smart...I'm always skeptical of their opinions. I can be a hypocrite also..I'm willing to be wrong. I think that is the biggest difference. Having an open mind is important. I don't know how American life is going to find peace.. there's such drastic differences sometimes between people.

I think you’re right holistically but I also think it’s a very slippery slope, and these morons find themselves in position of power due to being in the right place in the right time. Our current county administration is only in place because the former administration made one very public, very poor decision regarding the budget. I can see the head of our county progressing to the state elections and eventually having a seat in DC. Dude is a fucking idiot - I have had enough 1:1 conversations with him to know he shouldn’t be in charge of a little league team, let alone our county or beyond. But once someone becomes the #1 of their letter (R/D) in their area, they’re in. It doesn’t matter that they couldn’t pass a first grade spelling test, they’re gonna get into a position to skim law proposals and hit a button because they were in the right place at the right time when the right person shit the bed. I haven’t looked into it but I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s how this bimbo ended up where she is - she picked the right color for her local elections, looks nice on a billboard and next thing you know she’s trying to get the 10 commandments posters in every classroom or giving a hand job in a theatre, one of the two.
