Just how "ignorant" is MAGA?

All of the mentally sound and fair-minded Americans, after witnessing Donald Trump's recent joyrides into mental decay, of course, and the MAGA gang not missing a step behind him, might surmise they are at least as ignorant as Trump, or maybe even worse since they are the dull-witted followers. AI overview says, "About 19% of all U.S. adults identify as part of the MAGA movement, which includes roughly 52% to 62% of rank-and-file registered Republicans. Here are more stats to know who we are dealing with...

General Public: Roughly 19% to 20% of all American adults self-identify as MAGA supporters.

Republican Base: Up to 62% of registered Republicans identify directly with the MAGA wing of the party.

About 12% of political independents and 3% of Democrats also embrace the label.

Here is a further breakdown using limited demographics...

Demographics: Self-identification is highest among very conservative voters (73%), military veterans (62%), union members (60%), and older Republicans aged 65 and older (59%).

Political Action: The primary aligned fundraising and super political action committee, MAGA Inc, holds a war chest of more than $400 million.

So, we can safely say that the majority of these morons--oh, I'm sorry. ignoramuses--are

Laura Loomer

Republicans; no surprise there. The 3% Democrats could include people like John Fetterman, but we've known for some time the unbalancing of his scales. And speaking of unbalanced, the person exclaiming MAGA ignorance is none other than Donald Trump close ally, Laura Loomer, outright liar and conspiracy theorist. However, what worries me most about the above is that "MAGA Inc, holds a war chest of more than $400 million." 

But back to Loomer and what she has to say about her own people, at least those on the same side of the fence that she is. Here is her scenario...

“I’m starting to realize many things, and one of those things is I really don’t actually like a lot of the people I have met in the GOP over the last 12 years,” Loomer posted on Wednesday. “Some of these people are so ignorant to me. They mock me for saying there’s Russian propaganda on social media and some of them even accuse me of being an Israeli spy for calling out right wing Jew hatred. Some of these people are literally ret—. Some are just paid off. Either way, I don’t like what I’m seeing.”

I cannot speak for the above charges but let me enlighten you with some of Loomer' past goodies...

She posted material questioning the official account of 9/11 and suggesting government complicity linked to missing Pentagon funds, saying it was an inside job.

She spread false claims that Kamala Harris hid or fabricated her Black heritage.

She promoted baseless narratives regarding undocumented immigrants registering en masse to vote, alongside the false Springfield, Ohio hoax alleging Haitian immigrants were eating household pets.

She advocated speculative theories regarding the sudden death of political figures like Senator Lindsey Graham.

The list goes on from her past, which you can Google, and expectations are it will continue as long as there is someone to listen. But there is some confirmation to claims of ignorance in the MAGA community, a 2025 study from Harvard University...

"Professor Stanley Unwin [from Harvard] told reporters. 'Quite frankly, we have been stunned by the utter stupidity of these people. Collectively, the sample of participants managed not to even score a total of one. Thus making our control example, a registered intellectually challenged amoeba named Cody, smarter than the entire group."

To this, Donald Trump responded...

"Meanwhile Trump took a break from fomenting World War 3 to tell reporters. 'This is fake research. My people are smart. They're real smart. They're the smartest. Fact. Everyone says so."

Okay, the above NewsBiscuit site has no factual validity because it is an entirely fictional, British satirical news website. I use it because it becomes more applicable when you compare NewsBscuit content and the measure of the brains of MAGA members. I asked AI if MAGA members were stupid and here is the answer I received...

"No, MAGA movement members are not inherently stupid; rather, the coalition consists of millions of individuals with diverse backgrounds, education levels, and rational motivations driven by personal, economic, and cultural values."

Got it. The above explains the general makeup of MAGA, which I do not question. What I cannot understand is just how ignorant can the individual be who solidly supports a raving maniac who is racing toward dementia, has no idea what he is doing, but at this point isn't really responsible. That's right, Donald Trump has completely deserted reality and has been in his own little world for some time. Those responsible for this are the Republican Congress, a gathering of idiots who don't care about their country, just power.
