Things never go beyond curiosity for these people because theyre not interested in the details or facts

They have a tenuous relationship with the truth

"Instead of reading this physics book - which I should've read in middle school - I will reinvent physics to my best knowledge. This is objectively better because I did it myself and didn't let Big Physics indoctrinate me."

"Oh and I will take advice, but it won't be from Big Science. I'm not stupid."

I'm tired of facepalming. Options?

Obviously keep supporting him because he's on the right team, what else would anyone do? Judge someone by their actions? That would just lead to people gradually having an increasing pool of politicians that represent them and their interest, we can't be having that!

If that is the intended meaning then it is an even more moronic take. It is like that "If Trump cured cancer you would rather die of cancer than take the cure" thing which smoothbrains also like to regurgitate. Even if Trump somehow was not so stupid that he barely knows what cancer is, then he would never spend his time curing it, because he would still use all his time grifting and being petty. Other people don't exist in his universe and never has.

"If Trump did (completely fictional thing that will never happen even if there was an unlimited number of parallel universes) then you would still not like it". It is not even a strawman fallacy, it is something much stupider.

Republicans are easy to manipulate.

Prime example:

The pedophile has been on both sides depending on his agenda throughout his pathetic life. He's said things about presidents during his time that contradict everything he does now. The pile of shit is master manipulator.
