Reasons Rome died:
1.) Invaded by foreign barbarians. (looks at southern border, refugees being shipped in)
2.) Over-reliance on slave or cheap foreign labor. (Looks at illegal immigrant workforce that is brought in to be exploited)
3.) Division into two empires that didn't care about each other (looks at urban vs rural political divide)
4.) Overexpansion and overspending on the military (looks at endless wars)
5.) Government corruption and political instability (turns on the tv)
6.) Loss of traditional values (gets on social media)
Despite the left being mostly a bunch of liberal arts majors, they must have slept through those history classes.
