"… Already long ago, from when we sold our vote to no man, the People have abdicated our duties; for the People who once upon a time handed out military command, high civil office, legions — everything, now restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses". - Juvenal

Resets are brutal events.

Why was the circus so important to the Romans?

Was it really necessary for them to be entertained?

Does man have an inherent need for gaudy spectacles?

I think that the circus itself wasn’t really that important.

What was important, was that the government could take the circus away.

It was fear.

Fear is a tremendous motivator.

The Democrats use fear with great skill.

“Vote for us or you’ll go hungry!”

The Democrats are some sick, evil bastards.
