Not “Alea Iacta Est”
Choosing a leader who is only capable of inciting the people, spreading hatred, falsehood and hypocrisy and behaving not according to his words will lead the people to a misguided path.

Once upon a time, around 39 BC, Julius Caesar won a colossal war against the Galea tribe. The victory jacked up his popularity. The glorious victory encouraged him to attempt to conquer the Italian territory that was separated by the Rubicon River. The Senate was worried that if he was more successful, his popularity would threaten the Senate. The Senate then ordered Julius Caesar to go back to Rome without bringing his troops who were very loyal to him.
Julius Caesar faced a dilemmatic political choice. By going back to Rome, he would be brought to court because the war against the Galeans was not approved by the Senate. If he was determined to continue his territorial ambitions, he had to cross the Rubicon River, which meant disobeying the orders of the Senate.
