Except the fall of time was a gradual things that occurred over hundreds of years, with no clear delimitation. Not one specific tiping point that occurred within two months of a specific leader taking over.
There’s a large hill and at the bottom of that hill is a cliff, we’ve been sliding down that hill since Regan and this past January we finally reached the cliffs edge.
Well, I’d agree and disagree, but you can pretty much point at the last 100 years and draw a lot of parallels between the fall of our republic and the fall of their republic. Emphasis on the collapse of representative democracy into naked empire.
You can draw parallels with almost anything if you generalize enough. My car breaking down was like the fall of the Roman Empire, enough small issues never got fixed that they just ended up with the thing breaking up.
Because there were decades of corruption, overextension, and bad policy which lead up to them being susceptible to conquering by an outside power. The “fall of time” wasn’t one single event. It was a gradual decay, mostly in the Western half of the split empire

I assume they’re talking about the Republic and not the Empire.
Why would you assume that? Fall of Rome usually refers to the collapse of the empire.
Why would they be talking about stupidity when Rome fell to the Ottomans militarily?
