Now He’s Caligula
Not content with calling Trump Hitler, Nicholas Kristof penned a column comparing Trump to Caligula. Not linking to the column because it is garbage like most of the crap coming from the left. There was this bit of projection in the column.
He replaced the heads of some statues of gods with his own head, and he occasionally appeared in public dressed as a god. He was referred to as a god in certain circumstances, and he set up a temple where he could be worshiped.
Exactly which president was referred to as “sort of a god”? It certainly wasn’t Trump. And what presidential nominee gave his acceptance speech in a Greek temple setting with all of those beautiful Greek columns? It was Jug Hussein Ears Downgrade who was worshiped and deified by the media. These people on the left just can’t help themselves. They have to project. It’s in their DNA.
Going back to Roman history we are actually in a state a few years before the emperor Caligula. We are in the last days of the Republic when gangs roamed the streets terrorizing the citizens. The leader of these gangs was a Roman named Clodius. He was a member of the ancient Claudian family, which gave us the emperors Tiberius, Caligula, Claudias, and Nero. He changed his name to Clodius because that was the original name of the Claudius gens way back in Roman history.
There were good Claudians and there were bad Claudians. Alas, mostly there were bad ones. They were cruel, arrogant, and power hungry. They were one of the oldest families in Rome. One of the Claudians, Appius Claudius, built the Appian way.
Clodius was known as the gangster of Roman politics. There were some who said that he and Caesar were connected. Clodius would be very comfortable today and he would be connected to the Antifa movement. He would love their slogan Peace Through Violence. Yep! That’s one way to get peace. In intimidate your opponents and that’s what Clodius and his gang of thugs did during the dying days of the Republic. Milo did a good deed when his gang killed Clodius on the Appian way. How cool was it that he died on the road his ancestor built?
