“No one in this world, so far as I know — and I have searched the records for years, and employed agents to help me — has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby.”


H. L. Mencken

I know, there is "half of the American electorate are too stupid to drool", which is easily accepted, but then there is "half of the American electorate are stupider than trump", which, however self evidently true, still remain a concept so seemingly misanthropic that it could not be embrace without queasiness and hesitation, even by a cynic such as myself.
