Myth of lemmings jumping off cliffs
In the sixteenth century, because of their rapid population increases, a story was started that they fall out of the sky when it rains. However, the lemming suicide myth is not an explanation.Ĭontrary to popular stories, lemmings do not commit mass suicide by jumping off cliffs into the sea to drown. Scientists have studied the variation in lemming populations for many years, but they don’t entirely understand it. They reproduce rapidly, and their population varies dramatically, usually over a four-year cycle. And, by their slavish, subservient behavior, they are preparing to go over the cliffs, right behind their Dear Leader.Lemmings are small rodents with long, soft, colorful fur and short tails that live in the Arctic tundra. They watch as he fires four Inspector Generals who were doing their jobs, they applaud him as he works to take control of the FBI undermines our intelligence agencies, and corrupts the Justice Dept.Īnd, instead of helping to try to save what’s left of our democracy, they do nothing, look the other way, and put on their blinders and earplugs when it is being attacked. These lemmings see him ignoring the Rule of Law, dismissing the Constitution as being irrelevant. There is the Lemming Effect that enables entire segments of a society to lose their sense of judgment, all at the same time. But why is it still so widely believed? Because it is an analogy for human behavior, for persons who blindly follow a crowd even though it may lead to a disastrous end. The famous, old story of these lemmings jumping off the cliff is, of course, a myth. They are like puppets on Trump’s strings, they have been mind-conditioned by him to think as he does, He never stresses social distancing, and they say it’s not at all necessary. If Trump refuses to wear a mask, they follow his example. They don’t follow the rules, they make their own. These reckless people are Trump’s lemmings, and they are a distinct threat to their fellow Americans. It looked like there were several hundred crammed into the main room. Not long ago a large group of protesters invaded the Michigan state capitol building, some with firearms, including assault-style weapons.
On the boardwalk in New Jersey people were standing right next to each other, very few wearing masks. We are seeing people on some of these beaches sitting under large umbrellas right next to each other, many of them without masks, in large groups acting as if everything has returned to normal. He has no idea of what he is doing and how harmful it is. What he’s doing is unconscionable.Īs these many states begin to reopen, we are seeing people go to beaches and parks and, instead of following the guidelines set by Doctor Fauci and the CDC to practice social distancing, wearing masks and such, a great many of them are ignoring that advice and acting very irresponsibly. By his failure to heed these warnings and then telling people that it’s OK to take this medication, his recklessness may well cause the deaths of many Americans. He has admitted to taking the hydroxychloroquine medication that medical experts have said is very dangerous to users. Also, he should be urging Americans to wear them to protect themselves as well as others, but he will not. There is his continuing refusal to wear a mask in public. There are two things that Trump is doing that are causing great damage to the overall efforts in this country to combat this virus. It is drifting aimlessly in the high seas. They are going off in various directions, there is no real coordination between them, with little to no assistance coming from this White House.Īmerica is like a ship that has a badly damaged rudder and a directional compass that no longer works.
All 50 states are reopening, most without a step by step, well-developed plan to minimize the number of new cases of this virus. America is caught up in a state of chaos, increasing disorder, and confusion.
