bighairymike: The most dangerous man to any government...

Heck, Mencken even predicted Trump in the White House:

"As democracy is perfected, the office of 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."

-- H.L. Mencken, On Politics: A Carnival of Buncombe

Although perhaps a less political Mencken quote is a more relevant response:

"For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong."

And to bring this back on topic:

"Puritanism: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy."

-- H.L. Mencken, A Mencken Chrestomathy

Mencken is like Twitter but rather than there always being a tweet, there's always a quote.
