“As democracy is perfected, the office of the president 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 downright moron.”
This was written by H.L. Mencken in The Baltimore Evening Sun on July 26, 1920.
