I’m reading my first novel in years, Conspirata by Robert Harris, written in the voice of Tiro, the enslaved scribe of a #Cicero, about a series of events that actually happened at the end of the Roman Republic.

#History is omnipresent.

#Caesar did not actively defend Catiline.

While he had previously supported Catiline, he later distanced himself.

When accused of involvement, Caesar pointed to Cicero’s testimony that he had informed against Catiline.

Overall, Caesar maintained a cautious stance to avoid implicating himself in the #conspiracy.

Yes, the #American Catiline won.

Normalize putting “#conservative” in quotes.

They don’t want to “conserve” anything, especially the #American Republic™

They are #reactionaries.

They want to Make Sulla’s #Proscriptions Great Again.

Hear me now, believe me later.

You: “So dramatic, they could never do that or get away with it”

Me: “Okay, boss, sure boss, whatever, boss”

Sulla's proscription - Wikipedia

The idea is to bring back proscriptions, killing people for their property and assets.

It’s not even a new playbook: Marius and Sulla already did this during the end of the #RomanRepublic
