Fighting for my place in America, Eric Levine

Why do I do this? By Eric Levine

[This Article was shared / distributed by Stanley Krieger, well articulated he wrote!]

Folks ask me why I raise money for political candidates.

Why do I spend so much time writing essays, hosting speakers, and appearing on media outlets?

When I tell them I do not get paid for any of this, some are shocked and ask again:

Why would I do it?

Some cynically speculate that I must be looking for a job or a political appointment.

Rest assured, I am not. I have a job I love, with colleagues I respect and admire.

As corny as it may sound, I do it because I love my country.

I believe participating in the political process of the freest and greatest democracy the world has ever known is the best way for me to give back to the country that has given so much to me and my family.

Since October 7, my participation in the political process has taken on greater urgency.

I am no longer just participating in the political process as a patriotic American.

I am fighting for my place in America. 

My grandparents came to the United States from Eastern Europe in the early 20th Century not to change America but to be changed by it.

They came to escape the antisemitism of Czarist Russia and to embrace the gifts of freedom and opportunity for themselves and their progeny that only America affords.

I am a beneficiary of their courage and vision.  

I am first and last an American.

I believe in individual and religious liberty.

I believe capitalism is the greatest job creation program the world has ever known.

I believe that the promise of equal opportunity for all, regardless of race, color, creed, or religion, is a uniquely American virtue that defines our country.

I believe that America and the free world are safest when America is militarily the strongest and our leaders are willing to project that power abroad.

But I am also a Jew who is very worried that the Golden Age for American Jewry is on the brink of extinction. 

Mark Twain is said to have quipped:

“History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes.”

The explosion of antisemitism we now see on our college campuses and in the streets of our cities – and the underwhelming responses from people who should know better – rhymes a bit too much for my comfort with 1930’s Germany and Soviet Russia.  

There are three particularly troubling rhymes.

The first rhyme is that of the antisemitic protests.

The pro-Hamas protestors are not just protesting Israel’s policy vis-a-vis the war in Gaza.

That is just the pretext for the protests.

This is NOT about policy differences like the anti-war demonstrations of the 1960s.

In truth, today’s protestors are protesting against Israel’s right to exist and in favor of the extermination of the Jewish people.

The chants of “Free Free Palestine” and “From the River to the Sea, Palestine Shall Be Free” are nothing less than calls for destruction of the Jewish State of Israel and for the extermination of the Jewish people, respectively.

If one were to watch a black and white version of these protests, they would look eerily like something out of 1936 Berlin, when Jewish students were physically blocked from entering classrooms and taunted by their classmates.  

Hamas is at its core a Nazi organization.

Its ideological parent is the Muslim Brotherhood, a national socialist (Nazi) movement founded in Egypt in the 1920s.

While America’s Jew-haters embrace the Nazis of Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas are illegal in most Arab states, including Egypt and the Arab Gulf States.

Those Arab countries, unlike the protestors, want Israel to win and want Hamas eviscerated. 

And it is no accident that many of these protests are funded in large part by Iran, which has dedicated itself to the destruction of Israel.

One should not make the mistake of believing the protestors have the intelligence or creativity to come up with these chants on their own.

Those chants, plus the blood libels of claiming an Israeli genocide against the Palestinian people and accusing Israel of being an apartheid state or a colonial occupying power, have their roots in Joseph Stalin’s reign of terror.

The Middle East was an important battleground during the Cold War.

Stalin concocted these lies as part of his war effort to win over the Arabs.

Whether or not the useful idiots on our college campuses and in the streets of American cities are trying to finish what Hitler started, they are making their point with Stalin’s rhetoric.

It is hard to imagine a better example of the theory that politics is a horseshoe rather than a straight line.

The radical left and the radical right are kindred spirits at their core.

They may start from different places in how they view the world, but when it comes to the Jews they are of one mind.

The second historical rhyme that terrifies me consists of the silence, acquiescence, or buy-in from those who should know better.

German Jews in the 1930s were doctors, lawyers, judges, professors, business people, teachers, friends, and neighbors, until they weren’t.

If the elite of German society had spoken up and opposed the Nazis at the early stages of Hitler’s rise, history might have turned out very differently.

• List of Victims of Nazism include Jewish and Polish origin, Soviet POWs, Jehovah's Witnesses, Serbs, Catholics, Roma and dissidents who were also murdered. The list also includes people from public life who, owing to their origins, their political or religious convictions, or their sexual orientation, were murdered by the Nazi regime.

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_victims_of_Nazism

In 2024 America, college presidents are not sure if advocating for genocide of the Jewish people violates their school’s student handbook.

Apparently, it “depends on the context.”

Many of our schools, other institutions, and places of business have signed on to the Social Justice agenda and the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion agenda.

Both are inherently racist and antisemitic.

These agendas declare that people must be judged, not on merit, but instead solely by the color of their skin.

From that one characteristic, people are further divided into two categories:

Oppressor or Oppressed.

Whites are always oppressors and people of color are always oppressed.

In that paradigm, Jews are always white.

We are always the oppressor.

As such, we can never be considered victims even when protestors take to the streets calling for our extermination.

As applied to Israel, because it is a Jewish State, it is by definition the oppressor and the Palestinians are oppressed people of color. 

This is true for the Social Justice warrior even though Israel is a majority-minority country.

The majority of Israel’s Jews come from Arab countries and North Africa.

They are people of color.

But no one seemed to care or notice when they were thrown out of their countries of origin and migrated to Israel, their ancestral home.

For today’s Jew haters, it is not possible to view Israel and Jews as victims under any circumstance, even in the wake of the savage terrorist attack of October 7.

Being a white Jewish oppressor is simply an immutable trait that will never be forgiven.

Disturbingly, the protestors find refuge, support, and sympathy from more than a handful of our elected officials.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her fellow “Squad” members and the wider Progressive caucus provide the best example of that.

Whether they are motivated primarily by rank antisemitism or just pray at the altar of the Social Justice agenda, is difficult to know.

Regardless, the result is the same.

They give political cover and succor to the protestors who are motivated by rank antisemitism.

The historical rhyme of silence among those who should know better becomes even more concerning because even those who would traditionally stand with the Jews and Israel have placed their political needs ahead of their principles and simple morality.

President Biden and Vice President Harris exemplify this best.

The protestors on our college campuses and in the streets of our cities are Democrat voters.

They are not white supremacists.

They, along with the Muslim and Arab communities of Dearborn, Michigan -- a must-win battleground state -- are likely Harris voters.

They will never vote for Donald Trump.

To try to appeal to these voters, Biden and Harris are prepared to subordinate America’s national security interests and those of our closest ally in the world.  

It is possible, I suppose, that Biden and Harris truly believe that undermining Israel is in America’s best interest.

If so, that will only reaffirm the utter incompetence of the present Administration.

Of the three historical rhymes, the third and most dangerous one is that many American Jews are either afraid to speak up or have convinced themselves that there is nothing wrong here.

That includes many rabbis.

For many, practicing Social Justice and progressive politics has become synonymous with being a good practicing Jew.

Throughout history, such self-delusion has not served the Jewish community well.

My grandparents did not come to America in the early 20th Century so I could be forced out in the early 21stCentury.

I am now active in the American political system for a very selfish reason.

My place, and that of my children and grandchildren in our great country, depends on it.

Thank God there are not just fellow Jews who will fight with me.

Fortunately, I see no shortage of righteous gentiles who are willing to publicly stand with the Jewish community.

Together, we will win.

And the golden age of American Jewry will be secured for at least another century.

That is why I do this.

Border Betrayal: More Than It Appears

The ongoing crisis of rape, murder, and pillaging stemming from illegals flooding our U.S. border continues to rise as a direct result of open-border policies and the UN Agenda 2030 program championed by the Biden-Harris administration.

The White House, along with the DOJ and DHS, have repeatedly pushed the misleading narrative that "illegal immigrants commit fewer crimes than natural citizens," even while the House Homeland Security Committee reported its findings back in March confirming that open borders have created, “a new crime wave sweeping the nation.” Americans can see and feel the truth regardless of efforts by the government to deceive us!        

The Dirty Secret Hidden in Plain Sight

The Biden-Harris administration betrayed Americans by signing onto the UN Agenda 2030 open border initiative early in their tenure, prioritizing global migration objectives over economic security, national sovereignty, and protecting U.S. borders. This action reflects a blatant disregard for the constitutional mandate to “repel invasion,” exploiting a narrow interpretation of the law that defines invasion solely as an organized military force, not the unprecedented wave of illegal immigration from over 160 nations.

Never in U.S. history has the country witnessed such an influx of illegal migration until the Biden-Harris administration, exposing a coordinated global effort facilitated by the UN with full cooperation from the White House.

The UN Agenda 2030 aligns seamlessly with the goals of the World Economic Forum, as both entities are driven by the same architects, pushing policies that favor open borders and dilute national sovereignty in the name of globalism.

If a U.S. citizen were to organize an invasion of the U.S. border, they could be charged with several serious federal crimes, including Treason, Sedition or Rebellion, Providing Material Support to Terrorism, Smuggling and Human Trafficking, and Conspiracy to Commit Offenses Against the United States.

The Assault on US Sovereignty: The Truth Behind Biden and Harris's Open Border Policy

The UN Agenda 2030 is a comprehensive global framework that organizes human migration. It is viewed as a key factor for achieving many of these goals, including ‘Orderly, Safe, Regular, and Responsible Migration’ and the mobility of people through the implementation of planned and well-managed migration policies. It emphasizes the importance of developing comprehensive migration policies that protect migrants' rights, reduce inequality, and ensure their integration into host societies.

The Shocking truth is that the UN Agenda 2030 prioritizes planning for those within the bottom 40% of the global income bracket! The explicit goal is to raise the wages of the poorest populations worldwide and the bulk of this planned migration is being absorbed by the United States.

Worse, the United States is the number one funder of the UN, with 22% of its budget paid by Taxpayers, and supposedly, the UN claims the US owes it $1.1B! Under Trump, the UN, UNRWA, and WHO were defunded.

The Biden-Harris open border policy sacrifices America's most vulnerable citizens on the altar of globalism. Flooding the labor market with cheap, unskilled labor from around the world will drive down wages and increase competition for the very jobs Americans in lower-income brackets depend on.

They are siphoning wealth from hard-working Americans to support this globalist agenda!

The UN Agenda 2030 immigration scheme undermines America’s Judeo-Christian foundation. Resistance has slowed their progress, so their solution is mass immigration to dilute the influence of those defending America’s founding principles. By transforming the population, they seek to weaken the cultural and political structures that protect American freedom, paving the way for Democratic Socialism and further aligning with globalist agendas. This is a calculated assault on America’s identity and sovereignty.

We are witnessing a cultural and criminal invasion. When large groups of migrants from specific regions enter a country, they carry the cultural norms, criminal networks, and trafficking pipelines from their home countries.

With 85% of Americans opposing open border policies, we must unite and elect someone whose past actions reflect a genuine commitment to both border control and immigration reform—someone who will deliver results, not rhetoric.

NEW UN "PACT FOR THE FUTURE" TURBO CHARGES GLOBALISM BY ALEX NEWMAN FROM THE NEW AMERICAN.COM

UNITED NATIONS — Governments and dictators from around the world gathered in New York and adopted a sprawling agreement to expand and further empower the United Nations. The controversial declaration approved by the UN General Assembly, known as the “Pact for the Future,” is seen by the UN and its member governments as a great leap forward for the cause of globalism.

• Pact for the Future: https://documents.un.org/doc/undoc/ltd/n24/252/89/pdf/n2425289.pdf

In short, the UN is becoming “UN 2.0,” as top leaders of the organization put it. However, in the United States, at least, lawmakers, governors, and grassroots leaders are growing increasingly restless about what they perceive as a historic power grab, putting many attendees at the UN summit on edge as Donald Trump prepares for a possible return to the White House.

UN General Assembly President Philemon Yang of Cameroon claimed the UN deal would “lay the foundations for a sustainable, just, and peaceful global order – for all peoples and nations.” Other leaders of the organization echoed the sentiment.

According to UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, former leader of the world’s preeminent alliance of socialist and communist political parties, the UN Summit of the Future represents “an essential first step towards making global institutions more legitimate, effective, and fit for the world of today and tomorrow.”

“Transforming” (read: empowering) the UN with vast new authorities and responsibilities has been one of the major focuses of the massive gathering and is woven into the pact. “We can’t create a future fit for our grandchildren with systems built for our grandparents,” continued Guterres, a line that was printed out on giant signs throughout UN headquarters as delegates discussed “reform” of the powerful UN Security Council with a goal of eventually eliminating veto powers of the permanent members.

The final agreement adopted at the Summit for the Future formalized those ideas with the backing of virtually every national government and dictatorship on Earth. “We recognize that the multilateral system and its institutions, with the United Nations and its Charter at the center, must be strengthened to keep pace with a changing world,” reads the Pact for the Future, which was adopted by “consensus” featuring token opposition from a handful of governments.

“We renew our commitment to multilateralism and international cooperation,” the Pact adds. “We will transform global governance and strengthen the multilateral system.”

Only more globalism can handle the real and imagined problems facing humanity, according to the document. A “recommitment to international cooperation based on respect for international law,” the pact says, is “required,” with international cooperation, like “multilateralism,” serving as a synonym for globalism. “This is not an option but a necessity,” it continues.

In fact, the agreement specifically claims that nations and their governments cannot possibly handle the alleged problems that face humanity without the UN. “Our challenges are deeply interconnected and far exceed the capacity of any single State alone,” the pact states. “They can only be addressed collectively, through strong and sustained international cooperation.”

The term “global governance,” often used as a less-ominous placeholder for global government, is mentioned repeatedly throughout the document, always as something positive to be advanced. Under the heading “transforming global governance,” for instance, the pact calls for a dramatic expansion of these mechanisms for governing all of humanity.

“Today, our multilateral system, constructed in the aftermath of the Second World War, is under unprecedented strain,” the pact says, pointing to supposed (and undefined) “remarkable achievements” over the last 80 years. “But we are not complacent about the future of our international order, and we know that it cannot stand still.”

One of the institutions that received a shoutout is the would-be global Supreme Court known as the “International Court of Justice,” often ridiculed by critics as a “kangaroo court.” “We will fulfil our obligation to comply with the decisions and uphold the mandate of the International Court of Justice,” the Pact states.

Another area where the UN hopes to expand its power is on taxation, vowing to “explore options” for “international cooperation” on taxes and in particular, on taxing “high net worth” individuals. “We are committed to strengthening the inclusiveness and effectiveness of tax cooperation at the United Nations,” the UN deal explains, one of many efforts to eventually implement global taxation.

Ultimately, though, globalism must expand across the board. “We will take action to strengthen and reinvigorate multilateralism and deepen international cooperation,” it continues, offering “unwavering commitment to international law” for dealing with supposed challenges. “A transformation in global governance is essential to ensure that the positive progress we have seen across all three pillars of the work of the United Nations in recent decades does not unravel. We will not allow this to happen.”

However, as highlighted by The New American in another article, the UN recognizes that humanity — and especially American taxpayers who pay the bulk of the bills — are growing weary of the UN. “We must renew trust in global institutions by making them more representative of and responsive to today’s world and more effective at delivering on the commitments that we have made to one another and our people,” the agreement reads.

One of the major tools to help the UN “renew” trust in globalism is controlling information, as the pact makes clear. It calls on governments to “address” so-called “disinformation, misinformation, hate speech and content inciting harm, including content disseminated through digital platforms.” Of course, “hate speech” was a term introduced into the UN lexicon by the mass-murdering Soviet dictatorship to describe speech it hated.

“We will work together to promote information integrity, tolerance and respect in the digital space,” governments vowed in the UN agreement, followed by a dizzying array of actions they intend to take. “We will strengthen international cooperation to address the challenge of misinformation and disinformation and hate speech online and mitigate the risks of information manipulation in a manner consistent with international law.”

It is not just restricting information that counters the UN narrative. A confidential memo sent to communications executives across the UN system earlier this year and obtained by The New American magazine included provisions on how to propagandize humanity on the Summit of the Future and its agenda.

“The Summit of the future is a pivotal moment on our agenda,” the memo said, adding that the UN Department of Global Communications “wants to make sure we take the media with us – starting with briefs on specific parts of the agenda.” One way the UN has done that is by partnering with Google to hide information contrary to its narratives, especially on issues such as climate.

“The Summit will have a narrative and key message booklet to help staff understand how to communicate on the issues,” it added. “There is an increasingly large group of people who are mobilizing to get past cynicism, but some of the issues are hard to sell. Making multilateralism work is something we should sell. Advertising agencies are happy to help – we should consider how we can ‘flood the internet’ with positive, factual campaigns.”

One of the major power grabs in the final agreement inked this weekend involves the UN response to what it describes as “complex global shocks.” These could be anything from “climate” issues or economic problems to environmental crises or even unpredictable “black swan” events.

Under a proposal outlined in a policy brief dubbed “Our Common Future” released by UN boss Guterres last year, Guterres himself would essentially become a global dictator to deal with real or imagined international emergencies, declared at his discretion. The proposal called for nations, business, and all sectors of society to recognize the “primary role of intergovernmental organs [such as U.N. agencies] in decision-making.”

While the final agreement this week did not contain everything he asked for, it did provide a “mandate” from member states for Guterres to pursue the agenda vigorously. “We recognize the need for a more coherent, cooperative, coordinated and multidimensional international response to complex global shocks and the central role of the United Nations in this regard,” the Pact declared, calling on Guterres to devise new ways to “strengthen the United Nations system response to complex global shocks.”

A key theme of the pact was reaffirming commitments to previous UN agreements and schemes such as the UN “Universal Declaration of Human Rights,” a tool of tyrants aiming to replace the U.S. understanding of God-given unalienable rights with UN-granted revokable privileges.

In particular, the UN Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a recipe for global tyranny adopted in 2015 as the “master plan for humanity,” was a focal point of the new deal. “We reaffirm our enduring commitment to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals,” the new agreement states, vowing to “urgently accelerate” its implementation with “concrete political steps” and more tax money.

As part of that, the UN claims it needs virtually limitless amounts of power and money to do everything from “eradicate poverty” and “eliminate food insecurity” to deal with alleged man-made “climate change” and reduce “inequality” both “within” and “among” countries. Ironically, as this magazine has documented, many of the real and imagined evils the UN pretends to fight were created or worsened by UN policies or those of its member states.

Added to the pact were annexes including the “Global Digital Compact” to have the UN take the lead on regulation of the digital realm (data, Internet, Artificial Intelligence, and more). Also attached to the final agreement was the “Declaration on Future Generations” pretending that all the efforts to usurp more power for the UN are really “for the children” and generations yet unborn.

The UN summit and the resulting agreement come on the heels of U.S. Congressmen Ralph Norman (R-SC), Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Ronny Jackson (R-TX), Eli Crane (R-AZ), Bob Good (R-VA), foreign policy experts, and faith leaders meeting on Capitol Hill last week to protest the impending UN power grab disguised as a “Pact for the Future.”

“It looks like they are attempting to sell out our sovereignty once again with this agreement,” said Representative Eli Crane at the press conference.

Congressman Biggs, the former leader of the House Freedom Caucus, was also blunt: “We can’t give up any more of our sovereignty, any more of our geopolitical integrity, or any more of our economic integrity to foreign actors who have no concerns for the United States of America other than to take our power and money away.”

Already, more than half of U.S. governors have publicly pledged to resist UN dictates in their respective states. Meanwhile, for the first time, Congress currently has bills to end U.S. involvement in the UN in both houses of Congress: House Bill 6645 and Senate Bill 3428, both labeled the “DEFUND Act.”

There has been virtually no coverage of the UN summit or the pact from the establishment media in the United States — and that is no doubt by design. If and when Americans learn what the UN is up to, Congress would be compelled by a public outcry to stop funding it all at the very least.

Stay tuned to The New American for on-the-ground coverage of the event from New York City, September 22-23.

The Pact for the Future

The General Assembly Adopts the following Pact for the Future and its annexes:

1. We, the Heads of State and Government, representing the peoples of the world, have gathered at United Nations Headquarters to protect the needs and interests of present and future generations through the actions in this Pact for the Future.

2. We are at a time of profound global transformation. We are confronted by rising catastrophic and existential risks, many caused by the choices we make. Fellow human beings are enduring terrible suffering. If we do not change course, we risk tipping into a future of persistent crisis and breakdown.

3. Yet this is also a moment of hope and opportunity. Global transformation is a chance for renewal and progress grounded in our common humanity. Advances in knowledge, science, technology and innovation could deliver a breakthrough to a better and more sustainable future for all. The choice is ours.

4. We believe that there is a path to a brighter future for all of humanity, including those living in poverty and vulnerable situations. Through the actions we take today, we resolve to set ourselves on that path, striving for a world that is safe, peaceful, just, equal, inclusive, sustainable and prosperous, a world in which well-being, security and dignity and a healthy planet are assured for all humanity.

5. This will require a recommitment to international cooperation based on respect for international law, without which we can neither manage the risks nor seize the opportunities that we face. This is not an option but a necessity. Our challenges are deeply interconnected and far exceed the capacity of any single State alone. They can only be addressed collectively, through strong and sustained international cooperation guided by trust and solidarity for the benefit of all and harnessing the power of those who can contribute from all sectors and generations.

The Death of Tiberius Gracchus, the man whose rule-breaking led to the demise of the Roman republic. (Illustration by The Free Press, image by Universal Images Group via Getty Images)

Earlier this month, a man armed with a semiautomatic rifle was apprehended on a South Florida golf course. He was allegedly planning to murder Donald Trump on the links.

It was the second attempted assassination against Trump in two-and-a-half months.

It’s likely that the gunman, Ryan W. Routh, was acting alone.

But he is not alone in his hatred for Trump.

In the eyes of many Americans, the 45th president is an existential threat to our republic.

And ever since he won the Republican nomination for president in 2016, his opponents have treated him as such.

They have also been repeatedly stunned by the fact that Trump breaks the norms of modern politics. From the minor—commenting on the size of his manhood—to the unprecedentedly major—denying that he lost the 2020 presidential election. 

The dynamic between Trump and his haters has changed the chemistry of American politics. In 2016, Trump shocked the country by leading rallies where his adoring fans chanted, “Lock her up,” referring to his opponent, Hillary Clinton.

Eight years later, crowds at Kamala Harris rallies belt out a similar chant, calling for Trump’s imprisonment. 

In this respect Ryan Routh is part of a larger problem tearing our country apart.

When the other side is considered completely beyond the pale—a threat to our very system of government—it’s worth breaking the norms of political decorum to stop them getting into power. You hear it from both parties. Trump is an “extinction-level event.”

If Kamala wins, our country will become, in Trump’s words, “Venezuela on steroids.”

One escalation begets the next, until politics goes past the point of no return.

We take it for granted today that we settle our elections with voting, not shooting.

But republics don’t last forever. And when they fall, violence almost always follows.

Because the stakes are so high, it’s essential to ask:

What leads a republic to choose the gun over the ballot? 

To try answering that question, I looked back to ancient Rome, a republic that not only fell but fell because of the rule-breaking of one man—and the response of his enemies.

His name was Tiberius Gracchus.

• Tiberius Gracchus was one of the Roman Republic's most influential figures in the transitional period following the Punic Wars; in this episode, he first encounters the forces of rising inequality in Italy and attempts to rectify the problem. Video, click below:

• Part I: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IWp-62wcGA 10 minutes

• In the wake of the passing of the Lex Agraria, tensions rise in Rome as conservative senators race to kneecap the fledgling project, forcing Tiberius to make creative use of events overseas to further his aims. As opinions harden and events come to a head, Rome is swamped in violence and mayhem - the city's darkest hour in centuries.

Like Trump, he was a member of the elite who turned on the elites, who channeled the resentments and anger of the common people against a system that had turned against him.

Like Trump, he disregarded the unwritten political rules of his era. And like Trump, Tiberius prompted his enemies to disregard the norms themselves.

“You see this escalation very quickly with Tiberius Gracchus,” Adrian Goldsworthy, a historian of ancient Rome, told The Free Press. “He crosses some lines, sets some precedents, and then they suppress him in a way that sets an even worse precedent.”

Imagine January 6 in reverse: A mob of angry senators rioting after an election, breaking the legs off their chairs to fashion clubs, attacking the people who supported a populist leader—who had just won an election. That is how Tiberius met his end.

In America, we remain a republic unbroken, but this episode of history offers salutary lessons. We have endured Trump’s most serious norm violation: his efforts to steal back an election he claimed was stolen from him by the forces that smeared and defamed him during his presidency.

His attempts to send slates of fake electors to Congress to delay the certification of that election. His supporters break into the Capitol, menacing legislators.

And yet the cycle of escalations between Trump and his opponents continues to strain our foundations like no political crisis since the Civil War. In Rome, this cycle led to bloodshed—and eventually, the death of the republic itself. Is this a blueprint for America’s future?

You probably know about last year’s trend of American men confessing on TikTok how often they think about the Roman Empire. I’m a bit different. I’m obsessed with what preceded the empire, Rome’s republic. Empires are a dime a dozen in human history.

They rise and fall, from Babylon to the Soviet Union. But republics—a form of government in which a state is ruled by representatives of the people—these are orchids: rare, precious, and fleeting. If you take the long view of human history, tyranny is the norm.

A system that checks the power of its leaders and legislators and makes them accountable to citizens? That’s special. ...
