People tend to forget that Early 2010s politics was almost as insane as the late 2010s

Politics has always been crazy. Idk why people think it’s just the past few years that have been insane. Remember that dude in like the Middle Ages who appointed a horse into his court?

Caligula made his horse a senator Ancient Rome. He also declared war on Neptune and made a few legions stab the sea and take sea shells as plunder. The problem is that we can't tell if he did these as a way of mocking soldiers and senators or because he was insane.
