Roman poet Juvenal purportedly said, “Give them bread and circuses and they will never revolt.” This phrase expressed the strategic blueprint of Roman officials, one which sustained civic approval through misdirection and diversion – attention was directed towards the pleasures of hedonism and entertainment rather than the neglectful government.
Sound familiar? The presence of fast-food establishments, fully-stocked grocery stores, and microwaves, provide convenience to such a degree, few of us would be able to survive in the event of a total collapse of the supply chain. We live in a world of perpetual distractions, from social media, to streaming services on the television, to a 24-hour news cycle of state-sponsored propaganda.
However, with Biden’s usurpation of the executive branch, he and his accomplices are flipping the script. Instead of pacifying the masses to maintain public support, Joe and company threw out half of Juvenal’s equation – they forgot the food! You’d think they’d be on top of their game, to deflect attention from the litany of crises continuing to pile up on their watch – skyrocketing inflation, open borders and rising crime, or perhaps even the radical Marxism being pushed in school – but no, they can’t even get ‘bread and circuses’ right.
Almost as soon as the Democrats took power, issues arose concerning the supply chain. Throughout last year, grocery store shelves remained so consistently empty, our Commander-in-Thief rightfully earned the moniker “Bare Shelves Biden.” Although not broadcasted as the newsworthy story it is, over the last four months, “sixteen major fires have erupted at food industry facilities and plants.” And now, to top it all off, the Democrats and their policies are destroying the abilities for mothers to feed their infants.

Is that when the war starts?
Voting sure isn’t going to accomplish anything.
The only way out is secession.

That didn’t work last time.
You think it will now?
I agree. HOW they cheated the last time has been revealed so now they are importing millions of voters who will be granted blanket amnesty, bussed to the polls and paid for voting Demonrat just in time for the midterms. Mark my words.
Yes, it makes logical sense.
There are plenty of woke, LGBTQABC.... circuses
Just clowns run ing the show, but hardly entertaining enough to be a circus.

Have you noticed that the democrats do not seem worried about the November elections? They aren’t trying to fix anything because they know they don’t need to.
