moron

Bill Gibson quotes

...the larger the mob, the harder the test. In small areas, before small electorates, the first-rate man occasionally fights his way through, carrying even the mob with him by force of his personality. But when the field is nationwide...the force of personality cannot so readily make itself felt, then all the odds are on the man who is, intrinsically, the most devious and mediocre... The presidency tends, year by year, to go to such men. As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people... 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 moron."

--H.L. Mencken, writing in The Baltimore Evening Sun, July 26, 1920

Why do people hate this guy so much?

My general lack of respect for this president comes from my generally critical nature, something about (now two) engineered ballots, his family's ties to both Nazis and the CIA and the very real belief that this man will either plunge most of the world into the next world war or his country into the next inquisition.
