Here are some quotations I saved that might give a chuckle or simply a sense of futility.
H.L. Mencken:
Democracy: the worship of jackals by jackasses.
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.
Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.
The men the American public admires most extravagantly are the most daring liars; the men they detest most violently are those who try to tell them the truth.
Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public.
Every decent man is ashamed of the government he lives under.
Good Luck,
