    Hanlon’s razor: don’t assume malice when stupidity is sufficient explanation.

    Though, in this case, I think it’s almost certainly both.

      Honestly, with this administration we should be using the reverse of Hanlans razor: Don’t assume incompetence when malice is sufficient explanation.

        I’ve been saying that whenever someone brings up Hanlon’s Razor. There needs to be a new one, called The MAGA Razor - always assume the reason is deliberate malice, even enthusiastic cruelty.

          So incredibly, bafflingly, stupefyingly incompetent that even if you use the MAGA Razor they still look like pants-on-head-stupid, coconut-bonkers, clown-shoes dipshits.

          I always describe MAGA as “virtuosically incompetent.” It’s breath-taking how stupid/ignorant they are, and yet they are so absolutely CONVINCED they are correct.
