Alea iacta est is past tense, the die was cast before Caesar crossed the Rubicon. The moment the senate put Caesar in a position where he had to win or die, the republic was doomed. When the Biden admin decided to prosecute Trump they cast the die for him. When Trump ran for election in the '24 election, the American republican era ended. America's Sulla, FDR, died and we got to preserve our republic for a few decades, but now it's over. America's imperial period has commenced.

>We are not the Roman Republic though
similar enough as to make no difference. The forces at play are the same.
>Rome was pretty much backed by Tyrants and the country’s most powerful and wealthiest.
The forces at play are the same, I'm glad you agree.
>Was it sort of built into the 2nd amendment that one could raise an army against a tyrannical regime if necessary?
The purpose of the constitution was to entrench power, not to prevent tyranny. Any checks on government power were easily overcome, and this was by design. In Rome all legionaries provided their own arms and armor, their right to bear arms was far stronger than ours, and they were still a tyranny.
>They also possess the right to determine leadership free of outside threat or influence.
Democracy is just a way of manufacturing consent, not an actual decision making process.
>Trump is not a fucking emperor: he’s a servant of the people.
No American president has ever been a servant of the people.
>What is this obsession with licking others boots?
I do not lick boots, and unlike you I'm not so delusional as to think that I can stick my tongue out and slurp on some shiny black leather covering someone's foot and imagine I'm not licking a boot.
