When Popularity reigns over merit

Arguing politics is when people are actually yelling about something else, getting us nowhere
They aren't debating the ideals, the process, their goals, they vote to express an irrational rage
The popular rules, being the current favorite, cynicism replaces courage, kindness is impaired
Honesty is not important if we receive the benefits from our leaders, fallen in this wicked age
Truth becomes flexible, ideals are cast low, hope fulfilled is most unlikely, making all not care

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
