It seems we (in America) are living in endless, daily-repeating episodes of a ‘Ship of Fools’, Middle Ages’ response to the 1346 AD, Black Plague - a chaotic, frightened and confused era that was ’led‘ by (or better, ’driven by’) deranged, ranting, kakistocratic demagogue-saviors who in turn were followed by a mobs of superstitious, anti-rational opportunists. Familiar? (See Pericles21’s 2020, posts of July 5 and May 16 - respectively:
“AMERICA UNDER TRUMP: A SHIP OF FOOLS SAILING RUDDERLESS IN STORMY SEAS ... WHERE, OR WHO, OR WHAT IS THE CAPTAIN? IS IT TRUMP, COVID-19, RACISM...OR ALL THREE? HEAVEN HELP US”
Our government leadership has gone over the cliff and the rest of us are about to blindly follow or are considering about joining in the leap, or are standing back, gaped mouthed, watching it all but afraid time has run out to save what's left of the American experiment ... even if the rest of us see clearly that Trump, the Republican orthodox conservatives and their (none-written) agenda are all smoke-and-mirror BS!
The apex of this farce will be, when DT returns to office and says he was always recommending masks and social distancing and masks, how loudly the WH staff, MAGAs and other Trumpists will shout their support and with blood-rage, cry louder for heavy punishment on those who still refuse to mask up and distance. Whack-a-doodle America .... but hard to laugh anymore.
