The Fall Of The Roman Republic And The Fate Of America
Dr. Duke Show
March 16, 2023
Dr. Duke and Daniel Natal discuss the first great Republic in the history of the world, and what its fall tells us about our own tottering Republic.
The John Birch Society is a grassroots education and action organization to return the Republic to the principles found in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. -- Join the Fight!
After their republic fell, at least the Romans got Augustus Caesar and the Pax Romana (which lasted almost as long as the United States has existed).
I doubt that we will be so fortunate.
(And it's not like the late Roman Republic was all that great to begin with. It was, in fact, pretty much a basket case.)
