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.

They are so very incompetent, though...

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.

They're only incompetent if you think that governing is actually a priority of theirs
