”With all this rain, we will have to build an ark, if we want to get to work.” Explain the allusion.

The phrase "With all this rain, we will have to build an ark, if we want to get to work" refers to the biblical passage of Noah and his ark, through which the biblical prophet was entrusted by God to create an ark in which to keep two animals of each species and his family, to survive a great rain that would be sent by God to punish men for their wickedness.

So the phrase refers allegorically to the fact that, in a great flood, workers must get an ark in order to get to work.

government is strong when they have the ability to persuade those they govern to believe government has enough power to force them or should be forcing them to do government’s will.

when enough of the citizenry do not believe government can force them or should force them to do its bidding, government has lost or will lose its strength and power to coerce.

when enough of the citizenry do believe government can force or should force them to do its bidding, they become passive at the least or actively pro-government and repeat government’s own rhetoric to pass on what they have been persuaded by government’s propaganda.

a true majority isn’t always needed to govern or to stop government. many times all that is needed is a strong minority. if a determined 30% of the population rises up against government in a concerted effort to bring it down, this size minority usually will succeed as long as those actively opposing the minority are less in force than the minority. so if 41% of the population sits at home watching tv rooting for one side or the other, they don’t matter. it’s the active parties who make a difference.
