Murc’s law is named after the insight of the eponymous LGM commenter that, in American politics, only Democrats are assumed to have agency. Republicans are like rocks rolling down hill or perhaps sharks eating seals: they do what they do because that’s just what they are, so there’s no point in holding them responsible for anything, since they could not do ottherwise.

This remains generally true. Still, the law contains within itself a kind of pragmatic limit, which is this: American politics operates within a frame in which the party of the government is the Democrats, while the Republicans are the party opposed to the government. This holds without regard to which party happens to be in power at any moment, because of the basic ideological commitments of the two parties in contemporary American life: The Democrats think the government should do things, and the Republicans think it shouldn’t (“The most frightening words in the English language are I’m from the government and I’m here to help,” “We want a government small enough to drown in a bathtub,” etcetera etcicero ab aeterno).
