idiocy

They were supposed to still be furious at how the Padres had showboated their way to a Game 2 victory that incited Dodger Stadium fans into idiocy, right?

This wasn’t the only direct jab at right-wing idiocy in the presidential election, although John Leguizamo introducing himself as “one of Hollywood’s DEI hires” put a little more heat on the serve, adding, “The D is for diligence, the E is for excellence, the I is for imagination.”

I was not sure if this was due to awe, fear, or basic idiocy.

I can imagine a contemporary leader with a similarly weathered but undaunted confidence in our institutions and our ideas, a leader with an acute awareness of our own national identity — the nation of the future; the beacon of democracy; the nation that, with its unbounded dynamism and immigrant drive, manages to overcome the recurring tumult caused by its own idiocy and iniquity, and in the end energizes the world.

Politically, "it's pure idiocy", Mr Rosenberg said.
