The public loved him because he gave them free grain and redistributed land away from people who knew how to farm and gave it to you know, whomever. (We need socialism to save us from the results of socialism!!)
He used useful idiots to over throw a functioning democracy, rigged elections and bribed votes to get his way -- all towards unaccountable absolute power.
This is more reminiscent of the DNC than Trump. SOME Romans loved Caesar, but there were plenty who did not. Commoners that did not. When Caesar marched his Triumph through Rome depicting his victory in the civil war with paintings depicting the deaths of Romans rather than foreigners even those who 'loved' him were appalled.
The Senate was no better than our own House and Senate, beholden only to donors and special interest groups. Caesar's policies were to confront the results of their corporate welfare schemes.
