What Pelosi is really saying is that she wants Antifa (or fellow travelers) to be her personal henchmen inside Capitol Hill.
Tulsi Gabbard challenges Nancy Pelosi for ‘enemy is within the House’ rhetoric: ‘Like throwing a match into a tinderbox’
(Article in The Blaze)
When asked by the press to clarify what she meant by “the enemy” within, Pelosi doubled-downed, “It means that we have members of Congress who want to bring guns on the floor and have threatened violence on other members of Congress.”

The Swamp of Ancient Rome did the same thing. Their henchmen murdered political threats, warred with populist mobs in the streets, and ultimately blocked Mark Antony from entering the Senate (denying veto). A partisan law was thereby passed.
That was Rome’s Awakening that the Republic was dead. Unfortunately Julius Caesar had no long term answers. He thought his civility was taming his enemies. And he foolishly accepted ‘dictator for life’ as well.
Julius had no idea how foolishly Brutus would react. To betray a wildly popular leader with a mob assassination? Ludicrous. But like someone famously wrote: fools lie to themselves.
The Swamp is losing its already thin support rapidly. Hip Hop and I Tunes are now dominated by an Awakening rap tune. ( Gateway Pundit.) And legislators in another state are voting to celebrate Trump Day. I hope that more Hip Hop and more states follow their lead. Very likely to happen. The Ivory Tower is growing like a magic bean stalk.

Well conceived and well written! A cloud of doom hovers over the piece but also a dawn of light. 👌
The hatred displayed by leftists can only be comprehended when you consider "what he might have prevented".
If we could just get the Great Awakening and the Great Awokening to come together, we’d be unstoppable.
Very good post. The similarities of Ancient Rome and today is very interesting
