Obviously Morgan is a product of education (emphasized by the Ph.D at the end of his name). However, there are many Ph.D's, with their self serving superiority and greed, mixed w/ a ton of racism, who would be right there with Commodus and Nero, as they are Trump. Somehow we need to educated those who won't read and analyze history. Movies and the arts help. Maybe creators of Video games can be the conduit, because if we leave it to the GOP, they will ban the books and dismantle education to keep the "Plebeians" in the dark.

Thoughtful essay, thanks!
You’re welcome and thank YOU … and I’m a lassie. [s]
Commodus…perfect name. Trump, and his golden shitter.
Very well written, logically sound and with a horde of historically valid examples for comparison. An excellent essay!
Thank you!!
An interesting choice.
Yes, Commodus is a convincing example of what narcissism and sadism and cruelty and profligacy can do to a culture.
