The rats are deserting the ship.
The problem is... that they are still rats.
We have to remember this whenever one of them acts as if they have become sentient.
People are always understanding and accepting when they are looking at socioeconomic ruin, starvation, and homelessness as the alternative.
It is when they are flush that they start to revert back to their old ways. They can't help it. It is in their DNA.
So, we can either keep doing this cycle, or we can remember what they are and take appropriate steps to make sure they cannot influence our politics ever again.
(We are going to stay with the first one, aren't we?
