Teslas torched with Molotov cocktails and shot with gun

Doubtful this would be Trump supporters. Occam's razor comes to mind. 

 

Imagine your surprise when a teammate smashes up your ride. You step out with a Harris 2028 t shirt on. 

 

Awkward.

I'm making a pretty reasonable assumption yes. 

 

Occam's razor as I said. 

 

You can continue to play coy in the comments but.youre not fooling anyone. 

 

Losing a cushy government job after you voted for Trump could cause someone to torch a Tesler or two (intentional Trumpese spelling).

Don't you think?

 

As far as Occam's razor, some AN posters like to invoke it to give their opinions a shiny new interpretation, but it usually doesn't apply.

The clearest example of Occam's razor is the selection of explanations for planetary movement between the geocentric and heliocentric models of the solar system.  The geocentric explanation required a complex system of retrograde motion and various complications that were not needed by the heliocentric model. The principle is that the least complex solution that explains the phenomenon is to be preferred.

 

What Occam's razor is not, is reaching a conclusion that agrees with your preconceived notions or your personal opinoins on what is most probable.

 

Posters on AN like to try to legitimize their conclusions by stating they applied Occam's razor when they don't understand what Occam's razor is.

Not really no. 

 

The rest of what you wrote is your own personal nonsense. Spare me your higher ground.

Not higher ground, accurate use of language and ideas.

No, I don’t think so. Trump ran on cutting government jobs. In any event, I hope they put the same effort into catching and prosecuting these guys they put into catching the Jan6 rioters. 

 

In any event, I’d bet less than 5% of people with “cushy government jobs” voted for Trump.
