Could very well be both. If they actually believe the stupidity coming out of their mouths, then they're not getting paid to lie, they're just getting paid to spread the truth. In their "minds."
Or, if they know they're lying, and getting paid to do it, that still makes them stupid. I think some of them are simply brainwashed. They grew up with these ideals, and simply parrot whatever they hear from their camp.
There was a girl hired at my company, who would go around sagely repeating whatever recent bullshit flowed out of AOC's mouth. I'd be standing there listening to her, half listening really, probably drooling a little, and wondering if she actually believes what she was saying.
