What was said by Henry Louis Mencken regarding American politics and the perception of truth-tellers vs liars?
Henry Louis Mencken said, “The men the American people admire most extravagantly are the most daring liars; the men they detest the most violently are those who try to tell them the truth. ... On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will get their heart’s desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”
