I hope we still have history books in 2116.

Well, in all likelihood it won't be books.

The last years of the Roman empire. As in the last years of the Republican party as we know it. After the Republican party was attacked by barbarians (read: by Trump, Bannon, Ailes, Infowars, Breitbart, Rudy Giuliani with more) the Republican party simply couldn't withstand the construction of its inner workings and moral hypocrisy anymore.

I can see that. I can 1980-2000 being the period just before that where they had consolidated power but depended heavily on people who didn't share their interests in staying power. The Romans called them Foederatii or something like that.

I wonder what 2020-2050 will be like?
