That's disrespectful to hammers.
Hammers are useful.
So are the people. There's a reason for the term "useful idiot".
Sure hammers are useful, and I own like 10 different types of hammers. I'm an apprentice blacksmith. That said, if I gathered up all my various hammers, and stick them in a sack, I'm not expecting anything intelligent out of them, or anything intelligible, except the occasional "clink," or "thud."
Hell, I shit talk my hammers all the time. I've yet to hear one complain.
At least the hammers are not actively contributing to the downfall of the US. Therefore I still classify then as smarter than 1/3 of the population. I have never had a hammer spread misinformation or turn on FOX news.
