    What’s even better is that the guy in question - Robert Zeidman - is, in fact a Trump supporter. But as a data analytics engineer, he wasn’t able to fool himself with bullshit data.

      Yeah I seem to remember an NPR interview he did where they gave him “the packets” they captured of a malicious actor communicating with voting equipment and the files were Word documents that somebody typed a bunch of gibberish into and renamed the file extension.

      This doesn’t surprise me at all. I’m an aerospace engineer and I know MAGA aerospace engineers and if Trump were to say something along the lines of “we’re gonna cut the cost of designing an aircraft by loosening the safety requirements”, they would be able to articulate exactly why we shouldn’t do that. Their inability to translate that into things like deadly virus precautions is another matter but when they know he’s wrong, they know.

      It’s just that so so so few of them could even pass a GED…
