America ....... A ship in the ocean.

If America is a super ship in the middle of the ocean with one third of its passengers led by a con man, are not happy with the ships destination, they decided to poke a hole in the middle of the ship in order to force change. Should the remaining two thirds of the passengers stand there and do nothing and watch the ship sink?
