It blows my mind that anyone can be that wrong on all topics.

It's like the difference between choosing random answers on a multiple choice test versus knowing the right answers and actively avoiding them to get the worst result. It feels like they're trying to punish the US for something.

Right? Like I've thought about how political decisions would be harder if the Republicans weren't reliably wrong on everything.

Like, if they were pro-gay-rights but anti-environment, that would be more of a thinker. But they're just wrong on everything.
