"Dumbassery" was actually my first thought. I don't know if that actually counts as a word.
"Draconian" *is* a good word. Its only downfall is that it also sounds really good to anyone who hears it, and then people use it to death. And then they forget about it until it's ready to rise again from the Limbo of Overused Words.
It's basically a verbal vampire, which only makes it even more cool.
"Douchebaggery."
Wasn't the Draconian right in between the Permian and the Cambrian?
The first word I came up with was: despicable. Offensive pun intended to mimic/mock AZ xenophobes/Republicans.
But draconian is good too.
