The U.S. Faces the Same Risks Ancient Rome Faced in Caesar’s Day
Quick Glance: The Parallels Between Ancient Rome and Modern U.S. Politics
  • Special prosecutors’ investigations of Joe Biden and Donald Trump do not mark the first time political tensions spilled into the justice system.

  • Resembling Caesar’s time, conflicts between populist politicians and the conservative establishment could lead America towards autocracy.

  • The Romanization of the American political landscape could result in a transition to authoritarianism, where sharp differences are settled through autocracy.

  • While the Roman Republic serves as a worrying precedent, the U.S. military's reluctance to support dictatorships offers hope for democracy.
