This comparison doesn't make a whole lot of sense. The crossing of the Rubicon was outright illegal (JC did not have a position that authorized him to exercise imperium within Italy), and disobeying direct orders from the Senate (which was the seat of sovereignty in the Roman republic). If the incumbent wins the 2020 US presidential election by a few electoral votes, but a considerable popular vote deficit, this would still be a fully legal election, in accordance with our federal constitution.
You are correct. My fear is what Trump may do to destroy the American Republic in his second term.
This is Freddie's fear. Malakos may be positive that won't happen. The answer will not be found in this thread in 2020.
The LPSG is a wonderful place. The LPSG does not control the future.
What I see in Trump is the personality of an authoritarian ruler. Trump has referred to wanting to be president for life or for serving a third term. Who knows. Perhaps one of the other Trump's runs in 2024.
There is a major difference between fact and opinion although sometimes fact and opinion seem to blur a bit.
In 2024, we will know the answer and perhaps not until then.
Again, I respect that you have a different opinion of what Trump wants to do.
Hopefully we will both be alive, kicking and still in the Politics forum come 2024.
