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.

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.
