H.L. Mencken missed adding a couple of words due (I suspect) to never imagining just how bad things could get....
"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."
I'd add a couple more M words: "malignant" as well as "mendacious" and that gets a whole fuckton closer to the reality we live in.
I'll add one of my own as a companion to what he wrote all those years ago to describe the moron currently squatting on 1600:
"The cognitive capacity of a crippled amoeba, the morals of a New York City sewer rat and all the warmth and compassion of a cinder block in a snowbank."
