The US is turning into a banana republic — a lawless society ruled by monkeys, writes in a column for The American Thinker Jay Shurk. The author borrowed such a sharp description of the term from the satirist Saul Luckman. According to Schurk, modern American society fully corresponds to this definition: almost 80 percent of citizens are sure that they live in conditions of two-level justice, when some laws apply to some, others to others. At the same time, polls record record low trust ratings in the three branches of government: 25 percent for the Supreme Court, 23 percent for the president, and a measly seven percent for Congress — the worst result among all 16 government institutions.
"It's true: Americans not only believe that lawlessness reigns in the country, but that they are ruled by a flock of monkeys! That is, it is not a secret for them that we live in a banana republic", the author noted.

The author accused the White House of enslaving the population. «When the satraps escort you to a banana republic, make a banana daiquiri,» the observer sneered. Summing up, he urged readers not to miss a single opportunity to go through how corrupt and illegitimate the «vengeful monkey elite» settled in Washington DC. the threat to the United States arose in their backyard
