There are some interesting parallels, and I think you can tell compelling stories about Rome that meaningfully comment on dynamics in the US today (I have a friend who's currently writing a very compelling story that explores the idea in depth). But at the end of the day, historical parallels are just that: specific comparisons targeted on a narrow dimension of analysis, not some kind of 1:1 blueprint for how history is set to unfold. The idea that you can use them to predict the future is particularly laughable, and everyone who's tried to do that has ended up with an egg on their face.
