This is a man who said (in 2019) that he hasn’t washed his hands for 10 years and germs aren’t real since you can’t see them with the naked eye:

I really have tried to understand what US government is trying to achieve by all these stupidity but I can’t get it? Is IQ of Americans really dropped that low, or is there something else going on? I hate to open news every morning now, because there’s always something more stupid things coming from the USA.
One thing I think is going on is an unstated fascist eugenics project, where instead of helping people live they try to set up conditions where many will die. The white supremacists in charge believe that they can filter out the weak and inferior through disease, starvation, and other adverse conditions, leaving behind only the glorious genetically superior white Übermenschen like, er, Donald Trump, Pete Hegseth, Stephen Miller and RFK Jr. There is Nazi thinking behind much of what they do.
Doing this to your own armies in the middle of a war seems clearly stupid, but then so do white supremacist eugenics and starting a war with Iran.
I must say that this looks like some conspiracy theory, but at the same time it looks like very plausible scenarios. I hate it when you can’t tell if someone is cheating on you or not.
From what people say in red counties, I completely believe this theory. Culture supercedes logic and there are very few that can think critically and be socially included in those places. Silent ridicule for getting a vaccine is not uncommon because it’s seen as weak or letting the government do what it wants to you.
It’s just very ironic and sad.
I agree that, stated outright, it can sound paranoid and conspiratorial. But think of it as a mindset: “if the poors die that’s because they deserve it, for not being as smart/tough/clever/strong as us”, along with background assumptions about white racial superiority and needing to counter a “great replacement” of whites. Looked at that way, as implicit at least in their outlook if not consciously held, it doesn’t seem so implausible that this is influencing their policy decisions.
We have to assume that it is focus group tested. So they are likely doing it because they believe it will win votes.
it was never that high.
The right realized that if they “yes and” the crazies their base and the crazies adopt each other’s beliefs pretty easily so long as it’s sold adversarially and with anti elitist tone. So yeah now a significant chunk of Americans are feels over reals about shit like medicine
Remember: look at the average person, and realize that half of the population is even dumber.
