    Trump is really more of Elagabalus or maybe Caligula.

    It’s like we sped-ran past the “effective but tyrannical” ones a d straight into the comically corrupt.

    Imagine how much Trump would be if syphilis was a thing.

      Common (stupid) german anti-american proverb:

      America from barbary to decadence without the detour through culture.

      Hey Elagabalus may have had problems but she was 16 and horny and maybe don’t put a horny 16 year old in charge of an empire.

        I mean, but have we tried it yet? Maybe we should try it.

          “Vote for a boy crazy 16 year old! It can’t go as poorly here as it did in rome”

          Like, listen I’m not saying it wouldn’t solve some of our problems. What I am saying is that if we go with a trans girl from Syria again she won’t live as long as the first one and regardless we’re going to have a lot of new problems

      Please let him be Caligula or Nero. I don’t want to live through the Crisis of the Third Century.
