Rome, USA....

[Skidmore]

As went the Empire, so go we. When Rome started believing that it's emporers were gods and that it had the right to take over the world, and when the circuses and bloodletting became sport, the descent into the dark ages came rapidly. Our days of empire are going to turn in nanosecond and in hyperdrive. What happens when Rome on the Potomac is sacked?

3. Rome stopped being a Republic, and started being an Empire

When their legislature let it happen.

4. And when they quit holding their rulers accountable for

their bad behavior and policies in exchange for wealth and political glory.
