What an absolute moron! I don't know any other democracy that has such stupid people so regularly on TV.
For fucks sake USA is a shithole country of the worst kind.

England has some pretty stupid people on TV regularly.

That's true, clearly worse than we have here in Denmark. Of course we also have stupid people here, but they are generally not exposed broad and wide on TV.
But UK is still no match for USA from what I have seen. But clearly it's not a problem for a politician to be stupid and also be successful. Theresa May, Boris Johnson, and Liz Truss. Are all examples of that. It's astounding that a known liar like Boris Johnson was allowed to lead UK to vote for Brexit.
30 years ago we had a party leader Svend Auken that was caught in an outright lie. That cost him his political career.

Any examples? I'm in Ireland, and none in the UK would come close to the stupidity of some of the Americans in my opinion.

Not only that, some of them were picked right out of their pundit jobs to be in the administration like Kegsbreath

Those people are insane.
