Webster defines kakistocracy as "Government by the least qualified or most unprincipled citizens". Fortunately, I had not heard of this word until now. From here on out, I imagine using this word regularly until 2020, or earlier if I'm lucky...

Actually it was the Reagan administration that brought it back into vogue, but it takes a strong media personality to make something like that stick.
