On January 10 in 49 B.C., when Julius Caesar brought his Roman legion across the Rubicon River in defiance of orders by the Roman Senate, he triggered a civil war which he ultimately prevailed in, becoming "dictator for life." That life was short, since only 5 years later, Caesar was assassinated.
The seditionist insurrection at the Capitol last week, directed by a lawless, deranged demagogue and Caesar in his own addled brain Donald "Mango Mussolini" Trump, may prove to be his ultimate downfall. In a sense, the insurrection by the deluded cult that he led was a crossing of the Rubicon, his big gamble, his point of no return, from which this sociopathic monster hopefully will not recover.
