Mencken had a lot of observations about politics and elections. I’ve always liked this one, relevant as it was to the election results in 2016:

“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.”

For the record, H.L. Mecken was a fascist who, if alive today, would have been a diehard Trump supporter.
