Party of America supplying dimwit (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

doofus

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'dimwit' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'party of america' is the wordplay.
'party' becomes 'do' (do can informally mean a party).
'america' becomes 'US' (United States).
'do'+'of'+'us'='DOOFUS'

'supplying' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for doofus that I've seen before include "Nitwit" , "American fool - US food (anag)" .)
