    the fun thing is how the dems where apparently cucking themselves the whole time with “respecting the process” and shit like that. The current rep government just breaks the speed limit by a hundred km/h and dares anyone to do anything about it

    reminds of how the Roman republic was mostly held together by conventions and traditions until (iirc) two populist brothers started ignoring said things, which marked the beginning of the downfall of the Republic
    (this is a very basic rundown and I might just be misremembering things or my info might just be plain wrong. like 80% of my Roman history is from Mike Duncan’s Podcast 💀)
    ironic when considering how much of a hard-on the “founding fathers” had for the Romans

      Yeah Democrats basically cucked America into fascism. It’s wild how they gaslight America into thinking they’re the winners as they lose elections and keep Republican polices in place for the next one to assume office. The ratchet effect is so god damn real.
