7. Honestly at this point I'm kind of asking myself what his endgame could be.

I’ve read so many theories on why he’s doing what he’s doing, but I’m not sure it’s anything more than someone, vaulted IQ or no, being taken in by the Q-conspiracy bullshit.

Difference between street smart and book smart, and the people who never bridge the gap to be “really smart”. Is it possible to not get the tone deafness of his statement? Yes, if you’re a zealot or believe that the end justifies the means.

To me he ranks among the celebutards, I can’t imagine why he’s viewed as someone with an “in” to what’s really going on. He strikes me as a rich kid just reeking with the hubris of the silver spoon set.

What did I see on Reddit that was so brilliant? 90% of conservative outrage is just them finding out how things really work for the first time. To me, that’s how most of his statements that I read seem to come across, naive, but trying desperately to sound witty and wise.
