Brilliant analogy, man! And, brilliant OP! Well and succinctly said!

Yes, "the core agenda moves on." I pity the folks who cannot or will not see this. It's just going to keep getting more and more difficult for them to keep trying to distract from, and paper over, the hard truth. The apologists for power can revile and mock those who refuse to go gentle into this dark night, but I'll side with those who'd rather die on their feet than live on their knees.
