    To Bill Moyers: “If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.” — Lyndon Johnson

     

    Since year 2013, what Kremlin has mastered:

    If you can convince the most self-centered person that they are smarter / more intelligent than any other person, the one in egomania won’t notice you’re picking everyone’s pockets. Hell, give a person somebody to punch down on and mock as stupid / dumb, and that person will empty their pockets for you.
