I don’t think we should start criticising people or movements for being un-american. It feels nice to use it against the fascist because you are hitting them where it hurts but it also normalizes the kind of nationalism they use to persecute oppressed groups.
Regardless of that idolizing Rome is actually very American. The Germans idolized it too. The west loves its empire
They don’t even idolize the Roman Empire, they idolise a version of it that fits their views. Fascists always alter the past. Otherwise they would be having gay orgies 24/7.

I think it’s the “3rd term” bit specifically that is anti-USian, directly going against the two term limit written in the… constitution (?)
The US has always been an imperialist nation so this really is just a fitting crown that will mark the end of its long reign.
