Ship Of State Now Adrift

Now that the engines of democracy have been shut down because the fuel that runs it has been jettisoned. The life boats are being destroyed and sunk. We have no direction. We are at the mercy of the currents and no one knows where we will end up. A storm is a brewing. The Captain of the ship acts like Marquis De Sade more determined to inflict punishment than leadership. What is worse they are drunk on rum.

If we were to have some sort of crisis and were threatened by the shoals it is a good bet that the crew in charge will do nothing. The answer the siren call of their ideology. Hitting the reef won't be so bad we will sink in shallow water.

The saying truth is stranger than fiction in this case.
