Trump Booed by His Supporters - a Metaphor for a Self-Destructive Spiral

Neither political party seems particularly effective or constructive at the moment. The Democrats appear to be floundering in confusion and some strategic incompetence, while the Republicans are caught in a trap of vicious, vindictive vengeance. For Donald Trump to be booed by his own supporters for acknowledging that he's had a Covid-19 booster seems an apt metaphor for a society plunging heedlessly down a self-destructive spiral. It is as though Trump opened a Pandora's Box of distrust that even he can no longer manage. For me, this is not a single issue but a metaphor that characterizes an entire landscape consistent with Galatians 6:7. "Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for you reap whatever you sow."
