    Well, I’d agree and disagree, but you can pretty much point at the last 100 years and draw a lot of parallels between the fall of our republic and the fall of their republic. Emphasis on the collapse of representative democracy into naked empire.

      You can draw parallels with almost anything if you generalize enough. My car breaking down was like the fall of the Roman Empire, enough small issues never got fixed that they just ended up with the thing breaking up.
