We may be more like the Roman Republic in the first century BCE.

Cool, we have a few hundred years left before the sacking takes place :)

Now we just have to wait for Caesar Americana to march his army across the Potomac and establish the American Empire. Seriously, would you stand in front of an advancing company M1A2s to protect Obama?

Right now we’re more like 1933 Germany.

“We may be more like the Roman Republic in the first century BCE.”

I agree - the problem is how to line up the timelines. I would suggest that we are post-Marius and pre-Sulla. still some distance from Caesar and Augustus.

As Adam Smith averred, “there’s a lot of ruin in a nation.”
