Is the eventual downfall of America due to Trump and the Republican party actually good? I think it might be, America is a poo poo country filled wiht fat morons who would rightfully starve to death if they had to actually work to survive. I'm glad of it :coolfish:

i have this feeling that if someone actually somehow successfully campaigned against military spending and were elected, they would immediately switch on inauguration day, doesnt matter who they were, theyd be like 'actually the MIC owns and we need more of it'

no one will ever successfully campaign against military spending, they'd be painted as openly despising the military and only republican candidates can get away with that

Just looking at the years where Rome was an empire, that gives us a solid 270 years or so left, so I'm sleeping fine. If you include the time where Rome was an imperial power, add another 300 years.

Yes! The Gracchus brothers, Tiberius and Gaius, were Romans who both served as tribunes in the late 2nd century BC. They attempted to pass land reform legislation that would redistribute the major aristocratic landholdings among the urban poor and veterans, in addition to other reform measures. After achieving some early success, both were assassinated by enemies of these reforms.

I can see it now, Trump redistributing Hillary's billions along with Bezos', Zuck's and so on
