My favorite Mencken quote—and there are so many great ones:
“As democracy is perfected, the office [of president] represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people.
We move towards a lofty ideal.
On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”
All together now...
That day was-—?
That’s a great one, and so accurate of today’s reality.
