I actually think he's just that stupid.
I think it's a good mix of both
Cue the very next episode where Joe will be spending 300x as much time berating the left because he saw a leftist do something stupid in an AI video with PS2 graphics.

Joe meant to say hes a dipshit who got conned twice by the same conman lol
What a useful idiot.
Yeah Joe, you and 100 million other idiots.
Actually no, this is deliberate mass ignorance. The GOP has openly advocated hunting minorities for a while now, and used the word criminal like an insult, not a statement of fact.
Some people, probably most, are that ignorant. My wife is a legal, brown immigrant, fighting for her 10-year visa, which should be a rubber stamp by now.
She had no clue. "They're only taking criminals." Hell, the immigration office told her not to worry about what she's seeing on the news. And low-level government workers like that aren't exactly parroting MAGA talking points. They just want to do their fucking job and go home.
And it's true! The odds of ICE snatching her are slim, especially since I haven't seen any around here and there's no ICE office in the region. The odds are slim for everyone, but they're ramping up fast and I've got a solid education in 20th century history. I know what's coming.
Took me some time to make her realize this is a real threat to her. I don't want to scare the shit out of the woman, but I'm nowhere outside the house, especially with her, unarmed.
My man, over half of Americans read at best on a 6th-grade level. How informed do you expect them to be?
One other thing, you're right, most undocumented aliens are in violation of civil law, not criminal. Read up on it a bit, IANAL, but you generally have to be purposefully fucking up for your border crossing to be a criminal offense.
First of all, good on you and your wife. Seriously.

I'm not your man.
But I have difficulty buying the "honestly clueless" argument; after all, this has been going on for 10 years now and it never took a rocket scienctist to see what this man is about. Maybe there's a choice to only watch Faux News? That would be part of what I mean by deliberate ignorance.

Yeah, the USA's immigration legislation is seriously fucked up.

How did so many people get fooled by him when he'd already been president and was just like this for four years‽

Not that we didn’t know this already, but anybody that says this kind of shit immediately loses all credibility. It was 100% obviously bullshit when they said it. Just like getting Mexico to pay for the wall. Or Trump having a healthcare plan. It was all 100% bullshit.

Joe, you have a large platform, and Fuck You money, and can say or do anything that you choose. You could turn your entire listening base back to the light if you felt like it.
Nice of you to finally acknowledge reality, but you've got a lot more heavy lifting to do. You're not the enemy of my enemy just yet.
Not quite.
Unidentified masked armed thugs snatching people off the street without due process and shipping them off to gulag (sometimes in a completely unrelated country) is wrong even if the people are criminals.
Criminals also have rights worth protecting.

Why is anyone still listening to this moron?
Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

No, Joe, you didn't. You are doped pit, but your brain isn't that destroyed. You knew, just as we all did.
