Was Literally Hitler™ too played out? Why not invoke Napoleon or Genghis Khan, while we're at it?
Because I'm holding out for a modern day Vlad Tepes.
"This won't be the impaling you're used to."
Vlad Tepes, circa 2024
Well, according to them, Genghis Khan is a hero for killing so many people that Climate Change(tm) was slightly reduced for a while.
Press X to doubt. Farage is a quitter.
She says that like it's a bad thing.
If only.
I can't see Caesar getting "milkshaked" twice.
Caesar was famous for his clementia. He proposed life imprisonment rather than death for the Catilinian conspirators, which was not done at the time. He pardoned even men who fought against him, who ended up murdering him.
So ironically, he probably would get milkshaked twice.
True, but he also put to death the pirates who kidnapped him as a boy. I think we can compromise and say it would depend on who milkshaked him.

She's such a hideous Lefty. She represents the Wokening of even Ancient History studies. I loathe her, her horrible speaking voice and her hag-witch appearance, which are in truth the only reason she's a Tele-Don.
Her work has never been groundbreaking, and she is hardly an original thinker.
Another woke fraud.
I would be beyond honored to be compared to Julius Caesar.
To compare me to perhaps the most influential and accomplished man in history would flatter me to no end.
Nigel Farage isn't even an off-brand, after-market, Cicero.
