Are we really seeing the fall of empire, or just the end of our illusions?

It’s the fall of the Republic and the start of the Empire.
You could be right but I hope your are wrong.

You know in Russia they still have elections and representatives. What makes you think they’ll get rid of the pantomime?

What makes you think it was a Republic before Trump? When was the last time anyone in the west felt represented by a representative democracy?

They’re all kind of bullshit at what they’re supposed to do.

America was always an empire, they just didn’t call it that.
