Caesar tried to reform Rome's corrupt Senate to give power back to the people, and the Senate killed him for it. When his son Octavian later gained power, he killed all of his political opponents and declared himself emperor. Caesar tried to give them a chance. The next guy knew better.

The farce that was the 2020 election was Caesar's assassination. Who will Octavian be? And more importantly, what will he do?

The point of the post is, when one guy tries to reform for the people and the elites prevent him from doing so, the next guy the people support tends to not be so nice.... Caesar's example is not the only one. At no point was I advocating for an emperor or saying it would be a good idea, simply pointing out the parallels and pondering possibilities.
