You can quite easily paraphrase this by swapping stupidity out for brainwashing or propaganda. On another forum I frequent, which is mainly UK-centric with a few other regular posters from elsewhere, a US poster is deliberately annoying everyone with his anti-vax nonsense, masks are for losers, the way he suggests the US saves everyone all the time, anyone who does not own at least one gun is a pathetic Liberal, the election was "stolen" by citing rubbish that's been proved incorrect, and that the Jan 6 insurrectionists were peaceful protesters... I ignore everything he posts but this particular forum template has a "block" feature which several users have started to make use of - and its driving him nuts as he's convinced every opinion other than the one he's chosen to believe is wrong.
