Explanation: Cato the Younger was an ultraconservative dickweed of the Late Roman Republic. One of his favorite tactics was to just keep talking until night fell and the Senate, by law, had to adjourn until the next meeting.
The modern US seeing this bullshit: “This sounds like a perfectly fine system to bring into my chief legislative body.”
The US House of Representatives in the 19th century: “Yeah no, this is unbearable, we’re getting rid of it.”
The US Senate in the 21st century: “WE CAN’T POSSIBLY DO WITHOUT IT 😭😭😭😭😭”
Just abolish the Senate at this point tbqh
