The eminently quotable Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana said sometime back: "Our country was founded by geniuses, but it's being run by idiots." I heartily agree, and the problem is not self-correcting.
The principles behind the formation of America's government were and are exquisite, but the American government, like all forms of government, is corrupt as hell. This isn't an extraordinary statement. Exquisite things often break, and even the noblest of institutions become distorted over time until the original purposes for their creation are eclipsed (and often contradicted) by the personal motives of the men running those institutions into the ground.
This phenomenon is apparent anywhere there is power.
John O'Sullivan, a senior policy adviser for Prime Minister Thatcher, wrote a short essay thirty years ago that should have made freedom-minded conservatives rethink any lingering attachments to institutional authorities.
He asked a question we often ask ourselves: how is it that almost all institutional bodies — whether governmental agencies or purportedly "nonpartisan" scientific academies or even religious groups and charities — transform over time into left-leaning entities? In grappling with what might seem inexplicable, he corralled three insights about organizational behavior: (1) Robert Michels's Iron Law of Oligarchy asserting that all forms of organization, regardless of how democratic their foundations, will come to be run by an elite group of people; (2)

We were warned a long time ago
Idiots? You give them more credit than they deserve.
Deep State likes them stupid.
They make dandy front men and women.
The Founding Fathers would put today’s crop of democrats on the gibbet for ruining their Rembrandt.
The people really in charge are globalists/commies/totalitarians waiting in the dark.
The Professional Left is lavishly funded by foreign and domestic subversive elements who have established a strong network of non profits, foundations, trusts and NGOs to to finance their destruction of the United States.
Treason pays very well in America and you can build a great career as a member of the professional Left
Bear in mind that this metamorphosis generally takes place over a prolonged period of time in small incremental steps. Therefore it is imperative to block and destroy each and every one of the filthy steps lest they eventually add up to catastrophe in their totality. We haven’t and that’s why we are where we are today.

Idiots? This junta isn’t “run by idiots’ and it’s about time “conservatives” stop reading this bilge. These kinds of click bait articles have been cranked out for decades while “idiots” followed the dictates of Marx and Lenin. If only conservatives were as organized and idiotic.
I wish the “emminently quotable Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana” would start doing some serious things to help stop the destruction of America. Maybe getting together a coalition of both houses and starting to push back every day against the agenda and fight like the Democrats do would help.
Kakistocracy
A kakistocracy is a system of government that is run by the worst, least qualified, and/or most unscrupulous citizens.
That said, it is still the best system compared to the alternatives. But it is still important to relegate the government to a very limited role in our lives due to its natural idiocy.
There. Fixed it.
Well said, and absolutely t-r-u-e !!!
I would say run by greedy corrupted politicians.
Destroyed is a better word.
