A spectrum from evil to stupid? Nah. There can be two spectrums at play, one of evil and one of stupidity, but not a single one. These categories are not mutually exclusive in any way, and usually Nazis show high scores on both spectrums. I have yet to see one Nazi who’s not stupid, and that includes both Trump and Elon Musk.
I would argue that a Nazi is inevitably evil, and being stupid is a prerequisite of being a Nazi, because ultimately it’s a self-defeating ideology that requires stupidity to believe in.
