    Hanlon’s Razor States:

    Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

    Usually it’s a good rule of thumb, but in the case of MAGA Nazi’s, the opposite is OFTEN likely to apply. Stupidity does apply most of the time, but malice is also a very common component in nearly every issue. I’ve never seen people who are so enthusiastically, gleefully cruel.

      Yeah, normally I’d just say how stupid they are, but this is a time where they are both stupid AND trying to make their base think that’s what the definition ACTUALLY is. You shall soon see MAGAts walking around saying that the definition is what she said.

        Oh, yeah, they don’t care what reality is, or what hundreds of years of legal precedent say, the unassailable truth is whatever their treasonous leaders claim it is.
