Honestly, I'm at the point where, while I think there is a great deal of malice and certainly some horrific long-term plans, I genuinely believe that these people are idiots at this point. I think many of their actions lack any intention beyond the immediate and impulsive emotional reactions of a thin-skinned narcissist.

We are not just being ruled by evil shitheads, we're being ruled by evil shitwits.
