Except in American MAGA politics, where an idea is usually conceived in malice, but carried out incompetently, then blamed on Democrats when it predictably goes wrong.

The shit has wheels and isn’t behind a fence. Move it yourself, tell them to fuck off, and go back the next day and move it again until the management give up. What are they going to do? Get a police stake out? Hire RoboCop to uphold the law? Never attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity.

Which is why I specified AMERICAN politics. It was just an observation about the changing nature of Hanlon’s Razor.
It’s not the only logical argument that MAGA wrecked. Godwin’s Law has been watered down to the point where even Godwin himself says it doesn’t really apply anymore.

Fair enough. That’s what I get for shit posting (as in skimming through threads on the loo)

Stupidity and malice very often go hand in hand.
