Tbf that's a low bar these days

Yeah, that's actually what I pointed it out to illustrate.

They're running people dumber than the contestants of Fuckboy Island and with fewer scruples than the contestants of i dunno, Survivor? 🤷

A great example is Elise Stefanik:

5 years ago, basically nobody outside of her district had ever heard of her.

Then she ignored reality more blatantly and more obnoxiously at the hearings preceding one of Trump's impeachments than anyone except maybe Gym Jordan and Mark Meadows and people started talking about how she's "a rising star of the Republican Party"

Now she's the chair of the House Republican Conference and one of the favorites for the Mango Mussolini's VP pick 🤦

Of course she is, she's a good little lapdog spewing the shit they want people to hear.
