Decay of a society and uncertainty in leadership

The society is portrayed as decayed and cynical, no longer believing in slogans. This is exemplified through a joke about Gorbachev driving himself in a limousine due to his drunk driver, showcasing a lack of authority and control. The current state of America is compared to this scenario, questioning who is truly in charge and prompting uncertainty and speculation about the leadership, with the suggestion that even guessing the leader's identity is necessary.
