Meanwhile in Venezuela something that sounds creepily familiar

Quote
Nicolas Maduro extended his grip on power on Tuesday as the governing socialist party prepared to assume the leadership of Venezuela’s congress, the last institution in the country it did not already control.

Maduro’s allies swept legislative elections last month boycotted by the opposition and denounced as a sham by the United States, the European Union and several other foreign governments. While the vote was marred by extremely low turnout, it nonetheless seemed to relegate into irrelevancy the US-backed opposition led by 37-year-old legislator Juan Guaido.

Well did the democrats just become god kings?
As I recall, there were some decades of political turmoil before Caesar.  He rose up amidst that turmoil.
