Practical Politics

I saw this quote today. I’ve seen it before and anything by H. L. Mencken is good insight even now. If only we had a Mencken for our time.
“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.”
– H.L. Mencken
