= = = = = START MACHIAVELLI:
To arrive at this position depends not entirely on worth or entirely on fortune, but rather on cunning assisted by fortune. One attains it by help of popular favour or by the favour of the aristocracy.
The worst that a prince has to expect from a hostile people is to be abandoned, but from hostile nobles he has to fear not only abandonment but their active opposition.
= = = = = END MACHIAVELLI.
Sounds like the hostile nobles are actively opposing Prince Joseph of Delaware. His own appointed officers have publicly declared that he can’t be held responsible because he’s totally senile and incapable. Worse, he was already senile and incapable in 2017. The officials are telling us that everybody has known for a long time, leaving no room for claims that the Prince is just now starting to lose his mind.
Hard to back out of such a position. Fun to watch how the court jesters handle this. If MSNBC abandons the Prince, his time is over.
Well, the honestly labeled jesters haven’t abandoned him yet.
