“The demagogue is one who preaches doctrines he knows to be untrue to men he knows to be idiots.”~ H.L. Mencken
Concerning Mencken’s quote, the demagogues are Trump and the rest of the government, media, and their handlers, and the population at large are the useful idiots. I am of course speaking in general terms, this does not apply universally, but that still might be too weak a position to take given our current circumstances in this idiocracy called America.
