Better metaphor
In previous item I wrote about Catholics in an earlier era:
Their calm certainty provided an example for spiritual retards like me and a massive counterforce to the demonic forces of the Left.
Counterforce isn't the right metaphor. Most Romans weren't actively fighting, which was a good thing. Alinsky and Soros WANT to have active fighting. That's the point and purpose. When the Natural Law side starts agitating, its INDIVIDUAL members become easy INDIVIDUAL targets for DeepState blackmail and prosecution and basketizing and disemployment. The non-fighters observe and retreat.
In engineering terms, Romans were more like a giant shock absorber or ground plane. The demonic force or charge was simply ABSORBED without any effect, because Romans, backed by permanent Natural Law, were IMMOVABLE and UNCHANGEABLE.
In medical terms, Romans were a huge population equipped with natural antibodies. The Sorovirus tried to infect them but nothing happened except that the Sorovirus USED UP ITS ENERGY.
