@johnvvariety @boring_as_heck The Storm before the Storm: The beginning of the End of the Roman Republic by @mikeduncan speaks to this and is a fantastic book.

@van8794 @boring_as_heck @mikeduncan Agreed... Mr. Duncan: You've taken the words out of my mouth. I would've utilized all of those vital historical parallels myself, had you not taken the initiative

@johnvvariety Really? It reminds ME of Harry Potter… and the historical events contained therein…

@stolemyusername @johnvvariety I’m reading one right now called How To Recognize A Joke Online… you probably haven’t heard of it

@serious_adult @johnvvariety I too find that my complete understanding of Roman history and current political drama makes me unable to even luck a single parallel to present as an example. Curse my brain for being so smrt!

@zeroclasseric @johnvvariety Muller is the chosen undead. Chapo is that trader in the wisdom helm. Sessions is that bug in the bed of chaos.

@stolemyusername @johnvvariety Ah, so you ARE familiar with the first book, though… How To Explain A Joke Online

@johnvvariety @_danhagan Bread and circuses.

@johnvvariety So when are we going to stab someone 23 times?

@johnvvariety If this is like Ancient Rome, where's our Leges Clodiae?

@911VICTIM @Oklahomaharper Special thanks to Ms. Harper for paving the way for thinkers such as me and Harold to re-ponder these miraculous historic echoes,

@johnvvariety @ambruschini Which century or era of Ancient Rome. A lot happened between 8th century BC & the 5th century AD.
