That's a fun thought experiment

Pompey - RFK

Ceasar - Trump

Augustus - Musk

Pompey was Biden.

Establishment treasure, friend turned enemy.

Stripped Caesar of command by subverting elections and prosecuted him to prevent him from returning to Rome.

Only to trigger the crossing of the Rubicon and the march on Rome, thus ending the Republic in a populist wave.

We're only waiting for Pompey and his followers to flee across the sea to make the analogy complete.

Some have fled already.

I like that.

I was narrowly thinking of RFK as Pompey because he capitulated to Trump in the end.
