H.L.Mencken on the future of Democracy

I was just emailed this quote from H.L.Mencken, he was a real Nostradamus.

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."
H.L. Mencken (1880 - 1956)
