Don't get it twisted, Trump didn't cross the Rubicon.

The Communists did.

You get the imagery though. There is no retreating now. The only path available is the path forward.

Oh hell no, when ceasar crossed the rubicon he overthrew the tyranical government. Its a poetic analogy for trump v. Deep state

Caesar's decision for swift action forced Pompey, the unlawful consuls (C. Claudius Marcellus and L. Cornelius Lentulus Crus), and a large part of the Roman Senate to flee Rome in fear.

Caesar crossed the Rubicon after the elites betrayed the Roman people simply out their spite for him. This is that. It's almost as if the messiah has returned.

It's the opposite of that, so it's still a poor analogy.

Caesar crossed a lawful point of no return to depose who he claimed was a tyrant, that was his cause for crossing the Rubicon you are also forgetting the part where he installed himself as life time leader and was stabbed after as a result, for being a tyrant himself.

The deep state crossed the Rubicon, the point of no lawful return for a cause, when they turned their focus to subverting the state prior to President Trump even being in office.

Trump was duly elected, has not unlawfully taken up a cause of his own, and is defending himself from hostile state actors.

I get the spirit of the comparison, but it's not correct.

You've got the story out of order. The Rubicon was crossed before he declared being a tyrant.

What are you talking about, learn to read.

I said his cause was to depose a tyrant, Pompey and his retinue.
