When people compare us to the Roman Empire, I think a lot of people forget that Rome lasted WAY longer than its Republic period. Hell, I would argue Rome's Golden Age wasnt even until after the Republic fell.* And much like Rome, America seems to have this unnatural ability to survive events that have killed other nations, and come back stronger. And I truly believe we will do it again.
As I saw someone else on here put it, you dont get Reagan without Carter. Here is hoping that Carter in this context is Biden.
*/note: I am not saying that I believe America will become some global empire like Rome did. But the country may be changed for the better in response to the issues we currently have, like Rome before it.
Pretty much.
