Republican From Rome

I’m a republican Me too! From which state are you? Rome! Filthy goths like you belong to the cross

A goth girl says she is a republican, and a smiling Wojak agrees. When she asks which American state he is from, he answers “Rome,” revealing that he means the Roman Republic; an ancient Roman then declares that filthy goths belong on the cross. The joke relies on the misunderstanding between modern American political identity and ancient Roman history, ending in exaggerated historical violence.
