> an imbecile could support himself doing menial labor. Now not so much.

Yea, Today an imbecile could run the country..I would leave the specifics to your imagination..

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..
