of politics, the phrase is used to describe the creation of public approval, not through
exemplary or excellent public service or public policy, but through diversion; distraction;
or the mere satisfaction of the immediate, shallow requirements of a populace.
The phrase also implies the erosion or ignorance of civic duty amongst the concerns of
the commoner.
In modern usage, the phrase is taken to describe a populace that no longer values civic
virtues and the public life. To many, it connotes a supposed triviality and frivolity that
characterized the Roman Republic prior to its decline into the autocratic monarchy
characteristic of the later Roman Empire's transformation about 44 B.C
“It’s amazing how much panic one honest man can spread among a multitude of hypocrites. ”

@Bread&Circuses Thank you.
@Don🗡️Robusto Stresses the importance of unbiased, competent and thoughtful moderation. I'm not sure downvoting ever included movie reviews. Perhaps so. I don't remember it that way. Thank you all the same.
