The problem with trying to choose the Biggest Idiot of 2024 is that there are so many viable candidates to choose from. America may have fewer jobs, fewer births, fewer places free from crime and perversion, and fewer normal people in positions of authority than ever, but one thing that it appears we will never run short of is idiots. There are a lot of stupid people here. We have a stupid surplus. If stupid was money, we not only not have a national debt, but we could offer a massive cash rebate to hard-working taxpayers. This all-you-can-eat buffet of dumbassary makes deciding who the Biggest Idiot of 2024 a real challenge.
But first, we must define what we mean by “idiot” because many people who achieve stupid results are not necessarily idiots. I mean, you aren’t stupid if you’re trying to sow chaos and wipe out the capacity of the United States to perform adequately as a nation and a culture. You’re just a terrible person. So, there are people who make America a worse place, like Hakeem Jeffries, Rachel Maddow, or Bill Kristol, who are not necessarily stupid. They just suck.
Let’s get one guy out of the running right at the outset. Joe Biden is not the Biggest Idiot of 2024. He is an idiot, or rather was, but now he’s senile. Senile plus pre-existing idiocy takes you to a whole new level. Grandpa Badfinger is America’s Idiot Emeritus. He’s been so stupid for so long that it spoils the competition to consider him again, plus his dementia gives him an unfair leg up on the competition. And, for all his legendary stupidity over the years, what he did in 2024 does not truly qualify as stupid. To the extent he did the things he did on his own – including staying in the race when he was manifestly incompetent, undermining our allies around the globe and making America look weak, wrecking the economy, and pardoning his scumbag son plus a whole bunch of other scumbags – he did not do these things because he was dumb. He did them because he’s a greedy leftist narcissist and a bad person. He intended these results. He wanted to run for reelection. He wanted America to be weak. He wanted the economy to be bad for most Americans because that enriched his friends. He wanted his scuzzy son and the other criminals to get away with it. While he is an idiot, he doesn’t get to win this 2024 race either.
No competition for idiocy would be complete without considering candidates from the United States Senate. It’s hard to believe that any institution that includes noted paste-eating window-licker Mazie Hirono might have other contenders, but Mazie has been pretty quiet this year. James Lankford has not, though he should have been. The allegedly conservative Oklahoma senator bought into one of those comprehensive bipartisan immigration compromise schemes with the Democrats and, as always happens, got rolled faster than a drunk sailor in an alley with dollar bills hanging out of his pocket. His compromise was basically giving Democrats everything they wanted and getting absolutely nothing our side wanted in return. Yet, he decided to promote it aggressively and got all huffy when we pointed out that it would allow millions of illegals into the United States every year. I guess ending illegal immigration by making illegal immigration legal is one way of ending illegal immigration, but it’s not really a great way. His forthright defense of his idiotic plan seemed more about his dented pride when he got pushed back on than any notion that his plan might be a good idea. The Democrats, of course, used the allegedly bipartisan legislation as a suppository against Trump all through the election. Gee thanks, Jim. Great work.
His colleague Joni Ernst made her own play for the brass ring by deciding that it would be a great idea to ostentatiously oppose Pete Hegseth. She really thought she was going to get patted on the head and that her Washington Post–approved Republican maverick act was going to work in 2024 the way it worked in 2004. Trump supporters soon dug into her record, and she was exposed as the squishy RINO she actually is. Besides jumping on board Lankford’s garbage immigration scheme, she had also supported John Cornyn’s bipartisan gun control plan. Suddenly, this backbencher everybody assumed was legit got exposed as the Mitt Romney-esque hack she is. This might buy her a primary challenge, but she wisely pulled a 180 like the Duke brothers in the General Lee whilst being chased by Boss Hogg and proclaimed her MAGAhood.
I could pretty much name any member of the regime media as a potential winner – the quasi-literate Jennifer Rubin certainly comes to mind – but their industry itself is the real contender. It took stupid to a whole new level in 2024. The regime media once had a monopoly on information. It was our cultural gatekeeper, but now we go around their gates, particularly via X. Why did that happen? Because the regime media hacks decided that they wanted the reputation of neutral truth-tellers without actually being neutral or telling the truth. They destroyed their own credibility, and this year they put a final stake in their own collective heart. For the first six months of 2024, they told us how Joe Biden was just as spry and sharp as he could be. And then Joe Biden decided to go do a debate – or at least his handlers decided – and the truth became undeniable. For millions of Americans, this conscious decision by the regime media to abandon the truth, which had been preceded by countless other examples over the previous decade, was it. The media hacks had their credibility. They had their monopoly, and they scuttled it to protect the Democrat narrative. Way to go, geniuses.
Let’s not forget Fani Willis, the pear-shaped Atlanta district attorney who launched a worldwide search for just the right guy to prosecute her bogus charges against Donald Trump and others and found him in her bed. Jack Smith was no genius, either. His legal strategy resulted in one of the bogus federal cases being entirely dismissed and the other being gutted by a Supreme Court decision that his strategic choices made inevitable. Alvin Bragg could also be the Biggest Idiot of 2024. He framed Donald Trump and made Trump even more popular. Then he unsuccessfully prosecuted a normal citizen who resisted one of the subway degenerates that the Soros DAs want to make untouchable, discrediting the soft-on-crime model. There’s going to be a lot of lawfare karma in the next four years.
But, among the mass of morons who made a name for themselves with gross stupidity this year, obviously Kamala Harris was the Biggest Idiot of 2024. We must award honorable mentions for Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama for not moving her out of the way when they were moving Joe Biden out of the way, and there’s an argument that she was at least cunning enough to manage to become the nominee without so much as a primary or any kind of consultation with actual Democrat voters. But one obvious failure takes her from being merely a transcendently bad candidate to being a transcendently bad and stupid candidate.
This was. Of course, her decision to pick Tim Walz over Josh Shapiro. What the hell was she thinking? Of course, anyone with a brain in her skull instead of a Chardonnay–soaked sponge would have picked Josh Shapiro. The guy is articulate, knows how to talk to swing voters, and is only the popular governor of the most important state in the Electoral College. Pennsylvania is the Keystone State for a reason. The Democrat can’t possibly win without winning PA, but no, she was smarter than that. Instead, she would choose the valor-stealing weirdo theater kid from Minnesota, which is utterly electorally irrelevant. If her selection criterion was finding someone who could not outshine her, at least give her some credit for the miracle of identifying someone less impressive than herself.
This one move alone, even without being combined with her amazing series of gaffes and incomprehensible campaign decisions that resulted in her squandering well over $1 billion, it’s clear that Kamala Harris was the Biggest Idiot of 2024. She deserves our congratulations because this year’s competition was particularly stiff. Thanks to them, you aspiring idiots out there have got one heck of a bar to limbo under in 2025.
