I can relate to this, but I think of the "I, Claudius" theme... "Let all the poisons that lurk in the mud hatch out," is where we're at.

I'm not sure whether we've currently got Caligula or Nero, though.

Yes.

You're not wrong by a long shot. Isaac Asimov inspired himself by the history of the fall of the Roman Empire for his Foundation series of stories, and he had a finger on the pulse of US society.

I wonder if the reason he never had a Caligula or a Nero as one of the Emperors was because he thought it'd be too cartoony or unbelievable. Ironically, the inclusion of the Clone dynasty for the TV series was absolute genius and a great way to represent the decay of the Empire.
