Alea iatca est

Before ‘Crossing the Rubicon’ in 49 BC, Julius Caesar said, “Alea iacta est”; on January 6, 2020, Donald J. Trump said, “’If you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore”, his speech incited an insurrection on the steps of the Capital that shook the foundation of the government he took an oath to protect and defend. The Roman Republic became a dictatorship, Donald Trump crossed the Rubicon on January 6, if ‘the die is cast’ you can kiss democracy good-bye and say hello to an autocrat.
