Eh, I think it’s impossible to accurately judge a person’s entire intelligence, whether it be by the comments they make online or by their behavior irl. To me, ‘idiot’ is a bad word, worse than most.

That said, it does seem like people are too quick to believe the lies spouted by politicians. I suppose they will continue to believe them until said politicians’ policies affect them in a negative way (e.g. suddenly finding themselves homeless, which is a reality for more and more people these days).
