We row the boat of true progress down the river of madness with the masses of self-centered humanity making waves as we pass.
The roil increases as they see the opportunity to simply make waves and disrupt the progress of future just because they can and feel entitled to do so.
They know not the repercussions of their agitation, they just do it because they feel they should, if only to soothe their madness.
They cried "Make our country great again and expel the external evil".
When they felt the backlash of the disaster they created upon the waters, they cried for help...and to their dismay, there was none.
They lashed out in madness and in the end reaped the reward of insanity pretending to be savior.
It's what happened when Hitler took over Germany in 1934...and destroyed them all.
