“The right”? Please. As if being “the right” made any difference. It’s all bullshit.
Why can’t >politicians< do their job properly?

It's an interesting question. The Trump organization and supporters seem to make these mistakes relatively often. When Trump was challenging the 2020 election, many court filings contained obvious mispellings and other errors.
It's not politically significant - it's not a reason to vote against Trump. It is socially very curious: it's both unprofessional and weirdly malfunctional - almost any text creation platform flags misspelling automatically - and it's hard to explain how the behavior is widespread in a broad group. Rudy Guliani, for example, had been a real, serious attorney; how could he submit that work product?

The people, we are told, have had enough of experts. Maybe the theory is that performative incompetence is appealing?
Or maybe Trump’s just unable to get competent people to work for him; that kinda tracks too.

> performative incompetence is appealing?
I've wondered about that. Similarly, it's disruptive to the authority of the courts, judicial system, etc. It shows contempt.

The only explanation that seems plausible is a demand for instant gratification from the people overseeing those doing the work. "I have to finish this or I'll get yelled at," if you will.
