LOL, that is funny.  On the not so funny side, I finished Tacitus' Annals a few months ago and now am into Suetonius' Twelve Caesars.  Not infrequently in these works you can see clear parallels that don't bode well for us in the U.S.  I came across the text below a few weeks ago and was so struck by it I sent it to my kids as a reminder that history does repeat itself.

The Roman empire split in two; the west fell and the east didn't. I don't know whether there's any parallel - I'm several thousand miles away - but it often does looks as though there are two or more competing versions of the US.

But there is the famous quotation from Karl Marx's The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte

Quote
Hegel remarks somewhere that all great world-historic facts and personages appear, so to speak, twice. He forgot to add: the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce.
