The Governor of Maryland posted a video of drones he saw hovering for 45 minutes, and he decried the lack of action and info from the feds. Something must be done!

It was the constellation Orion and some other stars. He literally saw some stars and thought they were drones hovering near his house.

Why shouldn’t I believe that they’re really this dumb?

Are you talking about Larry Hogan, who hasn't been governor for 23 months and has nothing at stake?

You could have fact-checked that in less time than it took to write your post.

Everything else in his post is correct though. I saw his video, it’s a constellation he’s just never noticed before. And he’s supposed to be one of the smarter than average citizens out there

Yeah well, former governor Hogan could have fact-checked his video before posting it and didn’t, and only one of us is a public figure feeding idiotic hysteria.

My point stands. If this guy is that dumb then why should we think any of the rest are better?
