For one, Caesar was an Imperator. A military man. He got involved in politics because of both his want for glory and his disgust of how the Republic had been corrupted.
I'm not saying that it's 1:1. History doesn't repeat, but it sure as shit rhymes, and if the Cataline Conspiracy holds to be an accurate facsimile of the Trump/MAGA movement, our Caesar should be watching from the sidelines with shock, dismay, and a growing need to fix this goddamn mess.
Are you sure about that? Remember that The left may try and spin it however they please but I doubt that Trump's base would desert him over this, if he has the capacity he will run in 2024.
I thought for sure that they would let the GOP win one of the two GA senate seats so they could say: "See there wasn't fraud" too...but that didn't happen. This is for all the marbles and they know it. They think they have their opening to take full control and do so unopposed and they're probably right. Conservatives were too busy making excuses trying to live their lives to notice and it's too late. There isn't time to build the institutions needed to fight back or even organize to do so.
They can get 20M people out to the streets to protest and worse. We can barely muster a few hundred k.
If he is not in office on January 20 of this year he loses my support. If he can't do what is necessary to remain in power when in a position of power, when he is fully aware of what people will do to remove him from power, why should I believe he will be able to get in power again and do anything more with said power if he has it again?
And that's putting aside the reality that the Feds are going to be rounding up people who were in DC and throwing them in prison. Will Trump defend them? He wanted them there...
He seems to be throwing them under the bus already via his press secretary, so, maybe he really was a plant all along and he was a great actor like I've heard some say, controlled opposition made to look as real as possible.
I always thought it was bullshit but at this point anything goes tbh.
But who is our Caesar, though? Because I don't think it's Trump and never will be Trump after today.

That is a good point. It's so funny, yet cool how many parallels you can draw through history. Again, not completely 1:1, but still very close.

He won't because they will not let him. Next step is going to be to put him and likely his kids along with him in prison.
Doubt they'd be that stupid, honestly if they did the few allies Trump has, and he has some, would mobilize for war.
