"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity" - You seem to have invoked something akin to Hanlon's razor.

I am not sure which of the two is more a truth tbqh. I feel like I would prefer to side with incompetence. We might just have a chance then. We can do something with incompetence. Malice however is a lot more frightening. Hard to oust competent nasty cunts.

A malicious government can still be restrained by a well-informed population who continuously ring up their elected representatives. A politician is less likely to do a terrible thing if he or she knows he or she will lose his or her seat in the next election for this.
