I forced myself to sit through this evenings so called "briefing" on the epidemic. It was 95% electioneering, and 5% insignificant tid-bits on the pandemic. Even Dr Birx was used for political posturing.
If it weren't for the fact that Mike Pence would then take over, I'm sure even the Republicans would like to have him committed to an asylum.

As with bush jr, our poorest educated feel they can ‘relate to him.’ His lack of understanding, distrust of science, incurious nature, health-defying behavior and ignorant arrogance. They love the way he thumbs his nose at society, our allies, blatantly disregards authority, ignores law, flaunts wealth, and taunts their perceived enemies.

And, they realize he’s turned loose the dark forces of Industry and Religion to pack our courts, cripple laws & regulations and gut the agencies that keep them in check…

My suspicion is, those once on the verge of suicide.. ..have stuck around in order to watch him bring down those they despise... That same band he was priming to riot, had he lost. They’ve been riding high, filling his rallies and cheering him on. The good thing - they’re massively outnumbered by a shocked-awake electorate that can’t wait to vote his ass out of office!

All true. I'm looking for a word that defines someone we thought was intelligent that is a fervent follower...maybe "fake intelligence?"
