In the closing days of 50 BC, the Roman Senate declared that
Julius Caesar’s term as a provincial governor was finished.
Roman law afforded its magistrates immunity to prosecution,
but this immunity would end with Caesar’s term. As the
leader of the populares faction, Caesar had many enemies
among the elite optimates, and as soon as he left office,
these enemies planned to bury him in litigation. Caesar knew
he would lose everything: property, liberty, even his life.
Caesar decided it was better to fight for victory than
accept certain defeat. In January 49 BC, he crossed the
Rubicon River with his army, in violation of sacred Roman
law, and begin a civil war. “Alea iacta est,” said Caesar:
The die is cast.
Like Caesar, Trump now must fight for victory or lose
everything. Come January 2021, will Donald Trump decide to
cast the die and cross the Rubicon? He might.
The same people who warned us that Trump is worse than
Hitler will now scoff: “Donald Trump is no Caesar!” That’s
true. Trump is in a much better position than Caesar was.
Unlike Caesar, Trump can cross the Rubicon legally. He
need violate no sacred law. He has all of the legal power
he needs to act and win. Congress has given it to him. All
he needs to do is invoke the Insurrection Act.

TL;DR: Start mass arrests of politicians among other
actions.
