Forget the dusty high school English class -- Julius Caesar is one of the greatest political thrillers ever written. In this deep dive, we crack open Shakespeare's text and examine it purely through the lens of modern democracy. From the fickle voters cheering whoever wins, to Caesar's masterful populist theater, to Brutus convicting a man for crimes he hasn't committed yet, to Mark Antony's devastating masterclass in demagoguery -- this episode unpacks the timeless mechanics of political manipulation, mob psychology, and what happens when the defenders of a republic become the ones who destroy it. If you've ever wondered who's playing the role of Mark Antony in today's digital forum, this one's for you.
