DC swamp dwellers panic and flee the swamp

DC swamp dwellers panic and flee the swamp: There are several pithy phrases that well describe the ignoble actions of people with guilty consciences: “rats leaving a sinking ship,” and “cockroaches scurrying under the fridge when the kitchen lights come on,” among them. Of course, that kind of flight requires self-awareness and actual consciences, qualities lacking in our Democrat/socialist/communist (D/s/c) self-imagined elite, but I’m sure you take my meaning.
