The meme is a screenshot of a tweet from Senator John Cornyn, where he shares a quote from Benito Mussolini, the former dictator of Italy. The quote reads: "We are the first to assert that the more complicated the forms of the state, the more we have to go back to the most ancient and most simple form of the state. We are the first to assert that the more complicated the forms of the state, the more we have to go back to the most ancient and most simple form of the state." However, this quote is actually a misquote of the real quote from Benito Mussolini, which is actually: "We have to go back to the most ancient and the most simple form of the state."
