This is something that has occurred to me on numerous occasions. It occurred to me again as I read about the toddler in chief making an idiot of himself in England.
It now appears more likely than not that future historians (history is written by the winners, after all) will give the genius credit for delivering the final blows that brought down the American republic and replaced it with a dictatorship or autocracy. He may well be our Julius Caesar. Certainly there were Romans (Sulla comes to mind) that helped pave the way, just as there were Republicans here, but it was Julius who delivered the final blow.
Ah, but what a falling off is there. We should truly be ashamed that a man as mediocre as the genius will take us down. Before he became a dictator, Julius was a successful general. Contrast that with the genius, who was a failed businessman. Julius was an accomplished writer, who wrote, all by himself, what is considered at least a minor classic. The genius has never even reada book. Julius was at least a man of substance. Our guy is a snake oil selling buffoon, and we are still letting him destroy our Republic.
One other thing. When Julius met his well deserved end, it was at the hands of the Senators of Rome, who were making a last ditch attempt to stave off the inevitable. The majority of our Senators have enabled our child emperor at every turn.
No doubt historians of the future, like Fox “journalists” of today, will find a way to make him out to be a great man, but they’ve got their work cut out for him. Shame on us for choosing such an idiot to bring about our downfall.
