    Actually, a lot of them are idiots.

    Unfortunately, it doesn’t take intelligence to fuck everything up. Case in point:

    Hitler Was Incompetent and Lazy—and His Nazi Government Was an Absolute Clown Show

    I think the bigger problem is many of us have been conditioned to think idiots are mostly benign and nothing to really worry about, when the opposite is true. Idiocy in power is very dangerous.

    The worst atrocities in history have been committed mostly when idiots were in charge.

    e: if you read that article mentally substituting ‘Hitler’ with ‘Trump’, it’s uncanny how it’s nearly 100% accurate.
