I’ve said it before but reading all the medieval history books I’ve been reading lately has been so comforting. Makes you realize that there have always been mad and incompetent kings and they almost always die in ignominy and everyone piles shit on them for centuries after they’re gone.
Empires rise, self-destruct and decline. It is a tale as old as mankind. That those empires now have the power to destroy all life on the planet is kind of the difference.

Except this time, the emperor is backed by a machine that will put another idiot on the throne as soon as Donald leaves. They won't relinquish power. Look at China—how long has the Communist Party been in power? People there live under constant surveillance and oppression. 80 yrs of MAGA? No, thanks
