    Out of curiosity, there a reason you’re comparing Rome to present day America specifically?

      American government was partially based on the model of the Roman Republic, and there’s actually some pretty interesting broad similarities. It’s a pretty common comparison.

      There are probably thousands of YouTube videos that will outline them if you’re interested.

        Everyone overlooks the more apt comparison to the British empire. Much of late 19th and early 20th century US politics was spent actively trying to build imperial power in the same way the Brits had.

        If you want a comparison to Rome, we are England’s Constantinople
