Are cult members always this stupid?

I love it when Trump cult member Steve Kates goes on about how everyone else is wrong (climate scientists, economists, anyone who doesn't support Donald Trump) about everything, and that's because they're like cult members:
It is like dealing with members of a cult, except they are now the mainstream.

He's at it again today.  He's citing an article from American right wing, pro market think tank sort of place I have never heard of before.

Seems that the idea that the mainstream might be mainstream because they are not the ones analysing everything with intense bias has never occurred to him.

Kates is the prefect example of stupid is as stupid does.

does he even cogitate on any book that shows what the current white house is about? ( the current Ezra Klein article at Vox is a classic.)

No.
It is catallaxy in action. Ignorance ignoring evidence all the time

Let us put it another way.
Who would blindly support a moron?

Yes you guessed it.

that is disappointing. there are some sound mainstream market oriented economists affiliated with that think tank whom I would otherwise take seriously but they've decided to align themselves with a think tank that has been promoting anti lockdown hysteria from the getgo
