One of HL Mencken’s most famous opening lines: “Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.”
Here is another gem of his. It wasn’t an opener, but it should have been. In 2024, it could stand as the lead-in for a thousand articles:
“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.”
