>Also life is much better today for a weak, stupid person. 100 years, or even 40 years back, your life would be hell due to people giving you a hard time.

40 years ago, an imbecile could support himself doing menial labor. Now not so much.

I would classify the imbeciles in politics as: senile, alcoholic, or corrupt.

None of them were born stupid.

Someone born stupid can be used as a useful idiot and put in a position of authority or politics to act as a plant by someone who is not an idiot and is very malicious.

To be frank, I think, if not now, then eventually, all positions of authority will be manned by such plants..
