It is not a stupid question--it is just irrelevant. Current flows in various
ways, and in almost all cases, the details of the flow is unimportant. The
"wires" can be made from metals, semimetals, hot glass, semiconductors,
ionic solutions, etc. Each has a different kind of conduction mechanism.

I have taken the probably impossible task upon myself to discourage thinking
of conduction as a flow of electrons.
