Exhibit A: “Well, honey the thing is no one wants to be the first to start shooting because they’re worried other people won’t join in. Then you’re by yourself and screwed”.
Exhibit B: Meme does not contain the words “Roman” or “Empire”, nor any allusions to either.
Exhibit C: His wife didn’t accuse him of thinking about the Roman Empire all the time, nor did she allude to it.
Ergo, for at least a few minutes, he was not thinking about the Roman Empire.

He wasn’t thinking about the Roman Empire. It’s science. Now, get in line and follow the leader.
