    I’m thinking of the battle of Agincourt? Was it Crecy? One of those battles from the Hundred Years War where the longbow earned its reputation and a lot of French knights died.

    Anyways, one of those guys was some old prince who was blind so two knights tied their horses to his horse (you’re not wrong for wondering how this worked: it didn’t) and the three all died together. Legend has it they found the dead horses still lashed together. Imagine that fucking luck. Those poor horses.

    That blind guy making some lackeys die so he can charge out one last time? That’s this guy. Prince Barney of Frankhemia. The guys dying with him? I dunno. Liberal Zionists in this case? I’m not a hundred on that part of the metaphor yet. But I’m pretty sure the Democratic Party is the horses.
