I don't think he's a moron. I think he's complicit. Brat seems to be speaking traditional economic theory. You can't have a free market system of supply and demand keeping wages high enough to support the population if there's a supply of labor that undermines the system.
What the ptb are in denial about is Brat has been 100% about stopping the invasion of the US, according to Numbers USA. That's why he won, and overwhelmingly so. People get it; the DC crowd gets paid off.
