Every Empire has a period of expansion and prosperity, modern-day Republicans are trying to bring back the policies that destroyed Rome, without understanding that conservatism is always the corruption that leads to fascism.

It's not my understanding of Romans that is flawed, it's your understanding of freedom and choice.

I doubt any of the cultures that were invaded by Roman expansion were given any choice in the matter. Conservatism always has different standards for the in group versus the out group.

It's only hard to fight against it because our champions are wolves in sheep's clothing. The Democrats don't want to undermine their own power either, they just want you to think they do.

We're actually trying to go back to the Roman Empire, a Fourth Reich, if you will.

It's more than just disagreement. It's disagreement in defiance of logic and reason. Bad faith actors.

Yes, but I was speaking more broadly than private prisons. There are many reasons to restrict a person's freedom, and many ways to do it.

I'd love for somebody with an ear for it to tell my what the background track lyrics are saying.
