I believe what you're seeing is that "aggression mimics intelligence" by getting others on their heels and dictating initial logic. For instance, Hitler looked "smart" during his blitzkrieg of Poland and France, yet later was rather systematically beaten (his bravado/incompetence caught up). I remember when some were calling Trump a "3 dimensional chess player" early, mostly for having a "good economy" and "standing up to China", but later proved to be the malfeasant, seditious, and incompetent mess that he really is (like Sen McCarthy in the 50s). I watched the MTG "60 Minutes" segment, she's trying to disavow QAnon and Parkland statements, yet said idiotic things about "Democratic groomers" and Stop the Steal. The chickens come home to roost, even GA voters will tire of her act and she'll become desperate & even more idiotic (like Trump). MAGAs are just bomb throwers w no logical path forward.
