We’ll take the south and they’ll all freeze to death singing Kumbaya after they shut down all of their power plants in the name of Goebbels Warming.

>But he declared himself emperor, didn’t he?
Nope. Senate voted him dictator after half of them fled. First Roman Emperor was Augustus.
>He certainly overthrew the entire government, by force, in his own name, an act having no comparison with Trump’s due process election as President.
About half the Senate fled before Ceaser arrived and they joined up with Pompey. The dirty little secret of the end of the Roman republic is by Ceaser’s time the Senate didn’t really want to rule and guys like Pompey called the shots. He never had to use force on sitting senators in Rome, they were easy enough to bribe to his side or they were openly at war with him under Pompey.
Trump’s busy overthrowing the permanent US government employee by employee. While Trump’s actions are completely legal, to the left and the permanent government it feels like a coup.
>I can see it though! To the liberal mind, Trump carried revolutionary baggage into the office. But this is without acknowledgment or respect for the legitimate structure of government. To them, Trump is a weather bomb.
Yep, and like Ceaser, he’s in mortal danger.
Well, I hate to quibble, but I will! Trump did not "gain power" in the sense that Julius Caesar did. To say so imples some exceptional significance to his election, which I don't recall hearing about in the Presidential elections that I've experienced in my lifetime.
I mean JFK ... come on ...
Agreed! But they think they are actually more than half - they can't imagine that sane people would disagree with them and don't comprehend that there are so many people that do disagree with them. They will start a fight they can't finish. The ones pulling the strings - people like Soros and maybe even people behind him - know the true ratio but expect to profit from the chaos. Some of us won't allow that.
Rome wasn’t unnaturalized until Roman Emperor Caracalla. Lincoln unnaturalized the United States.
Thank you for the excellent essay.
Positive: learning about ancient politics and the calendar is enjoyable.
Negative: generalizing with “half” is confusing. It is better to say a non-50% number.
For example, “Half of the country believes in open borders.” False. “61% of Americans think Immigration Jeopardizes United States,” according to Bloomberg on March 7, 2016.
With Trump as President, the media is losing their moral authority, Robert Dinero is losing his fans, and universities are losing their objectivity. Good news.
BS. Half the country doesn’t even vote.
Then build a wall around it .
Game over.
You really need to look at election results and learn to count. Your analysis only applies to land mass not where people live.
Unless the two left coasts are obliterated, they win in the long term.
The advantage of underestimation only works once.
That sums it up perfectly.
I fear it’s going to happen though. NWO America has too many in high positions of authority unfortunately.
And our side is constantly pointing the finger at each other with false accusations and ridiculous drama.
“Friendly fire” casualties will be high.
Meant to be ‘dye’, as in once the dye is cast into the tub of cloth, there is no going back.
Except he didn't say it in English. In Latin, there are separate and distinct differently-sounding words for "dice/die" and "dye" ...
