Trump’s fanbase is, in our very roughest estimate, about 80 percent stupid and 20 percent evil, with a robust amount of overlap between the two. You have your dumb hicks who don’t know any better at the wide bottom of the pyramid and your amoral nihilistic pieces of shit in at the top.

Brooklyn, New York man Edward Rodriguez is at the bottom. Way at the bottom. In fact he’s might be literally the dumbest Capitol rioter we’ve ever seen, dumber than famous QAnon t-shirt guy Doug Jensen – who thought he was at the White House when he entered the Capitol on the 6th (Jensen was also the dipshit who got caught watching Mike Lindell’s stupid “Election Symposium” when a pretrial services officer stopped by his house to see if he was abiding by his bail conditions).

According to the sentencing memo by Rodriguez’s lawyer Nora Hirozawa, “During the 24 hours leading up to January 6th, alone, Mr Rodriguez received more than two dozen personalized emails and text messages from President Trump and affiliated groups, imploring him, Edward, to help fight for a ‘fair’ and ‘honest’ election. Mr Rodriguez became convinced that he, personally, had an obligation to go,” which definitely sounds culty but not world champion dumbass quite yet.

It’s not until a footnote in which Hirozawa describes a call she got from Rodriguez after he’d been arrested and awaiting trial that takes the trophy, writing “Most people recognize such emails as mass email invitations, or even spam. Mr Rodriguez, however, did not. Approximately a year after his arrest, Mr Rodriguez contacted defense counsel to ask, ‘Ms Nora, I know you and my parents said to avoid getting involved in anything political, but I just received a personal email invitation to do karaoke with Julia Salazar next week, can I go?’ The event invitation was a similar mass email. Julia Salazar is a New York State Senator for Mr Rodriguez’s neighborhood in [Brooklyn], who identifies as a democratic socialist and was endorsed by the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).”
