To some Mencken comes off as jaded. To me, he sounds like a guy who kept his eyes and ears open and was taking notes. In consideration of the posted quote, I would add that, so long as the glove is velvet, millions upon millions of people are quite fine with some dictator ruling over them. Socialism could never have survived beyond its nascence were this not so.
Now for a little thought experiment: Imagine anyone of those debating malignant charlatans wearing not a velvet glove, but rather, a gauntlet while grasping a morning star.

And the flip side is, 95% of the people would rather be ruled than rule.

One guy does not have his hand raised. Is that significant in the context here? Or is this just an odd-man-out game?

SloJo is lagging too. NPR says “Every hand shot up!”

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg

My head knocks against the stars.
 My feet are on the hilltops.
 My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life. 
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny. 
I have been to hell and back many times.
 I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God. 
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible. 
I know the passionate seizure of beauty 
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive  in the universe.

Take It Where You Find It

Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it

Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child

Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it

[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America

And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream

Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it

[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over

I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
