      this isn’t necessarily a valid syllogism depending on how you interpret the first premise you could call it:

      All stupid ideas are had by liberals

      but it could also be

      Some stupid ideas are had by liberals

      and we don’t know which OP meant. if the latter, an I-A-A syllogism is invalid.

      because the language of the first premise is ambiguous, it cannot be definitely stated that the argument posed by anon is valid
