Rome was a mix of secular and religious. The idea is that an increase in secularization associates with its decline.
The historical impact of humanism includes an uplifting of the human being above all else. This was one of the base components that gave socialist regimes their credibility.
Almost none of those points are true or make sense, except the ones related to tweets I guess.
They make sense to me.
"used visual persuasion of captured tankers" - what does this refer to and how does it relate back to Trump?
I've posted about this in the past. Getting somebody to associate an idea, person, or event with an image is a more powerful way to influence what he or she thinks about the idea, person, or event. It's a tactic that Trump is fond of using.
