@monte3 It's a subcategory of troll also known as a devil's advocate troll. Folks use it to point out the absurdity of the other side of whatever argument they are having by pretending to adhere to the other side. You see that type of trolling most often when people are pretending to be religious nuts.
In fact, calling someone a Poe refers to Poe's law, created by computer scientist Nathan Poe, who said, "Without a smiley face or other indication that they are joking, it is impossible to tell the difference between someone pretending to be a religious kook and a genuine religious kook."

@LordShadowfire Trump supporters may be stupid in your opinion but they're 10 times smarter than a Biden voter

Although there isn’t any valuable studies proving which political party has a higher IQ we can always look at other statistics.
Democrats on average are more likely to go to college than Republicans.
Republicans make up a lower GDP and lower GDP per capita of the United States.
Racism is more likely to be common in the Republican Party (which if you didn’t know) racism is common in people that are uneducated and likely to believe in stereotypes along with being unaware of certain groups.
According to a Pew survey back in 2009, depending on their field and source of funding, around 4% to 10% of U.S. scientists identify as Republicans, while 47% to 62% identify as Democrats, till this day the majority of scientists still are Democrats.
The Republican Party has also been shown to believe in conspiracy theories far more than Democrats. Popular beliefs involve JFK still being alive and “Jewish space lasers”
“The central belief of every moron is that he is the victim of a mysterious conspiracy against his common rights and true deserts.”
― H.L. Mencken
“Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are conservatives...I never meant to say that the Conservatives are generally stupid. I meant to say that stupid people are generally Conservative. I believe that is so obviously and universally admitted a principle that I hardly think any gentleman will deny it. Suppose any party, in addition to whatever share it may possess of the ability of the community, has nearly the whole of its stupidity, that party must, by the law of its constitution, be the stupidest party; and I do not see why honorable gentlemen should see that position as at all offensive to them, for it ensures their being always an extremely powerful party . . . There is so much dense, solid force in sheer stupidity, that any body of able men with that force pressing behind them may ensure victory in many a struggle, and many a victory the Conservative party has gained through that power."

@dale74 Most of them aren't smart enough to independently watch raw footage of an insurrection attempt without spinning it in the favor of their orange master.

@LordShadowfire p so did you see the raw video of the capital police inviting people in the door and waving them in. Remember that was the clip right before the January 6th committee all of a sudden quit holding hearings the other day.p
@dale74 Because they are getting new videos of the crimes. Don't worry all will be exposed.

@dale74 Okay. I see footage of a police officer telling them to be calm and peaceful, which they weren't after they went in. Doesn't actually change much.

@LordShadowfire Some of the Capitol police were clearly in on it.
