Just like Rome 2,000 years ago were given sports and stimmy checks to keep the masses docile while the swamp Kabal continues on its merry way as it’s been for the past 30 years. The question is how do the masses wake up?

Yep, they lasted 200 years and we are at 245. If I remember my history 200 years is a max point of empires and we are at 245. A little scary to think about.

I fear the correlation between nazis rise and china.
Prior to the war Ford and GM as well as others supplied Germany knowing what the goods would be used for. Today its Google/etc helping chini knowing the AI is for the military.
Heroes like Lindbergh touting how the Germans are so much better than the US, insert Lebron and others.
Europe turning a blind eye as Germany becomes more and more aggressive, insert chini and HK/Taiwan, trade threats to Australia and others, bitch slapping our new SOS for the world to see.
Persecuting Jews for the world to see and nothing, chini and muslims.
I sometimes feel I am the only one in the theater watching a movie...and I know how it ends.

The Roman Republic lasted about 500 years, the Roman empire lasted another 1,500 years, including the Byzantine part, though toward the end it was not much or an empire.

All empires fall. funny thing is they all did in similar ways. Debauchery was rampant, everyone getting free shite, destruction of the households, rulers obsessed with hanging out with "cultured" artists and theater actors.
Eventually they all got bent over backwards by people they considered too uncivilized and lack "culture". I'm not rooting for China but it would be very helpful to know Mandarin in the near future.

I won’t argue this because we will take away from the post. Augustus was a boss but he also knew how to keep the Senate happy by making them feel important. He kept a facade of a Republic going but he was doing it for appearances.
Rome was sacked by people from the border whose relatives were offed big time by Julius Caesar. The Visigoths are our Mexico/Central America. And there were plenty of them living within Rome as mercenaries.
After Marcus Aurelius, Rome began a series of inept/crazy/hoarding/villainous emperors. Caligula is Joe Biden. Crazy and demented with odd peculiarities. Although not certain Caligula was a puppet.

Europeans like to mock America's very short history.
But we have the oldest Constitution on the planet. Don't know how many years it has left.

I am not overlooking the fact that every major league sport, and even college football, basketball bought into this Marxist BLM bullshite. I will not comply.

Their fanbases haven't bought into it though

This has something to do with it (from show us your memes)...

Most people who support BLM and CRT have no clue what it means, they just think they are doing something that earns positive social media attention.
That's what this is all about. Social media and extortion.

Do these dumb fricks think that the 2nd amendment only applies to the lower 48 or something?

Yes
I do believe our system is much less stable though.
The pinnacle of Roman thought was law and justice. And Roman society changed very little over the centuries.
Our leadership is almost universally corrupt. We live in an oligarchy whose primary interest is in looting the country.
Worse, our popular culture is built around the idea of atomizing into smaller and smaller groups. But our culture is also at war with the past, and any sense of a shared identity we once had.
This will absolutely break the country. And given the speed of current events, It could happen much faster than anyone expects.

Not really. The Roman Empire essentially fell in 476. The Eastern Empire was more Greek than Roman. You're not really still an empire when you lose your homeland.
It would be similar to saying, if Britain was conquered, that the British empire still exists because of Canada.
