I think the "are Republicans evil or stupid" question has been firmly settled on "evil".

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

Some of them are both. The ones who are just evil are the problem.

They're going after every single SCOTUS decision that made any form of social progress. We knew this. We really did.
