As democracy is perfected, the office of the president represents more and more the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their hearts desire at last and the White House will be occupied by a downright fool and complete narcisstic moron. H. L. Mencken

This was written over 100 years ago, not today.

Didn’t Mr. Franklin respond to a woman who asked him as he passed, “What did you give us Mr. Franklin?”, his response being, “A Republic madame, if you can keep it.”?

A full-blown democratic dictatorship may well be on the doorstep.

H. L. Mencken was born over 100 years ago. I think he wrote that maybe 60 years ago. He was, in any case, prophetic.
