I’m reading this book by Bart Ehrman. Been meaning to for years. Has anyone picked it up? I’m on chapter 2 and have already seen so many parallels between the Ancient Romans and MAGA. The topic of deifying a living ruler makes me wonder if Americans will one day revere Trump as a deity. I think it’s likely that, as we approach the American Dark Age that Carl Sagan predicted, people will behave and think more and more like the ancients did, with the same superstition and tribal zeal. We are already seeing it.

Nah. Dipshit Donnie will leave office and we’ll find something else to be complete idiots about.
This was surely written in good faith and meant to strive toward proper discussion.
