Of course it is possible. Hence me having said things like

I'm not saying the man is totally beyond redemption, as time will tell on that, I'm saying he has been a prick, who for the past few years has been spouting off xenophobic and racist garbage.

Though I am not sure if being a moron is enough of a defence for a person to be saying horrible things for a number of years.
If a person is moron, they still need to be made understand that words can have an impact and if they want to continue to be a moron after attempts to explain why some things may be offensive, then there still has to be accountability for what they say.
Is not like I am saying he should be shot or put in a gulag. Well I am not going to openly say that anyway
Personally I think he may have some very small minded views with regards to people he regards as foreign or different to him, and the fact he has made comments over a sustained period right up to present times, rather than it being comments from years and years ago, suggests he is become more entrenched in a certain mindset rather than figuring out better ways to articulate his pov or simply learning to accept different cultures/nationalities and/or see a bigger picture.
Time will tell I suppose. He might be a moron, he might be xenopohobic, he might simply be a bit ignorant, he might well be very immature for his age, he might be all of those things, some of those things or none of those things.
Did hear that he thinks Elden Ring is shit and that those that like it are a bit shit too. He says folk that love Sniper Elte are boss though.
