I am reading him differently.
I don’t think he’s dumb at all. I actually think he just really likes her and is t all that convicted about what he believes or thinks (mostly because he doesn’t have to be since he isn’t in a marginalized group and is sort of in this privileged position where he’s never had to consider how anyone is adversely impacted by anything— and he just wants to kum -bah-ya everything and everyone) and he is smart enough to know that articulating a different belief or saying anything that isn’t parroting where Sara stands on an issue is a deal breaker for her.
She’s hot and he’s just sort of average, and he’s willing to confirm to be whatever she needs in order to keep her.
And she really wants to believe that he will be the guy she needs him to be.
