It seems to me that the powers behind the powers always want someone more manipulatable than the person they have in place. Thus exeunt stage left to BOJO, Cuomo, etc., ultimately Fauci and other prominent patsies.

Unfortunately for those holding the strings, manipulatable people by nature lack the talent to pull off the heist. The newer iterations make their bosses look so bad that it wakes up a lot of sheep. I am hoping that the ratio of sheep to shepherds is low enough to keep the true predators at bay. Time will tell.
