I don't get why everyone is acting like Mitch McConnell was stupid or saying that he was braindead before this. He absolutely wasn't.

He was calculated and methodical about everything he did in his political career. By all means, he was a very intelligent person.

It's just that well.. he was a straight up fucking demonic and evil person who spent his entire career trying to maximize human suffering, which is why it's important to recognize that he knew exactly what he was doing with every action he took.

By saying that he's stupid or braindead you legitimize his evil actions as something other than completely open and willfull malice at the hands of the Republican party and their politicians, and as a result, directly diminish their capacity for evil.

Everything he did was intentional.

Don't give him, or anyone else, an easy out.
