March 15 is forever known as the Ides of March, the day when Julius Caesar was literally stabbed in the back by his comrades. In their view, the assassins were doing Rome a favor, though killing of Caesar began the decline of the Roman republic. While the assassins and their co-conspirators planned meticulously how to murder Caesar, they didn't plan for his death's aftermath. And in the end, the killers found they couldn't live in the future they helped create.
Brutus spoke from a platform to calm the situation, and believed the death of Caesar would bring about the old Roman spirit. They failed to take into account the public's love for Caesar. As his body was paraded, people wept. Caesar's trusted lieutenant Marc Antony brokered a deal with the Senate to keep all of Caesar's laws, but provide amnesty for the killers. They would not be arrested, but any changes to positions or laws they wanted would not be granted.
The public hated the idea. Many of the conspirators were practically run out of Rome. Brutus left for Crete, while Decimus stayed with the army. Cassius held power in Asia, so he bided his time there. Many thought they were safe but, with the ascendance of Caesar's chosen successor, Octavian, things quickly went south. Octavian wanted to be emperor, and he did agree that the assassins were given leniency. One of Octavian's first actions was to declare the assassins enemies of Rome, and the republic descended into Civil War.
In the end, many of the conspirators were killed In the civil war. Brutus and Cassius both committed suicide after defeats against Octavian and Marc Antony. Trebonius was captured and beheaded. Decimus attempted to join Brutus and Cassius, but was himself assassinated en route. The last remaining conspirator, Cassius Parmanesis, lived in Athens writing poetry, But by the summer of 30 BCE, an Octavian loyalist tracked him down and murdered him.
While the assassins and their co-conspirators planned meticulously how to murder Caesar, they didn't plan for his death's aftermath. And in the end, the killers found they couldn't live in the future they helped create.
I have 2 minds when it comes to that. On one side, i think the guy did one helluva job with. Especially with the lying swampy fucks buzzing around him all day.
On the other side, i think his rhetoric about draining the swamp was stronger than his actions.
Regardless, he was undoubtedly the best president for "we the people" atleast in my life time.

One good thing is..Twitter overplayed their hand. Shouldn't have banned Trump. People are slowly but surely waking up. 5 years ago, I'd never have thought of downloading alternatives to Whatspp/Gab Instead of FB / Parler over Twitter. All thanks to POTUS!
The term 'useful idiots' has never been more relevant.
