In days of yore every community had a village idiot and if they were lucky,several. Tribes would raid each other in order to capture each other’s village idiots. They were irreplaceable. How else do you think they determined which plants were safe to eat?
Hey Ort, “Try this hemlock salad.” Freddo, “Eat that basket full of prunes!” And that’s how they decided prunes were good for grandma. Ogg, “Which of these mushrooms do you like best?
As the years went by most tribes pretty well figured out what they could eat and the popularity of village idiots fell by the wayside. Then things began to change. Communities found a new use for their village idiots. They elected them to office. No one party had a monopoly on them either. They showed up in all party’s, be you republican, Democrat, libertarian, Green Party, etc.
In more recent years the Democratic Party has been more successful in recruiting village idiots to the point that they dominate the party.
