People hear "Roman Republic" and get all starry eyed. You're right that he was defending a corrupt and incompetent regime that did nothing for the people of Rome and only existed to allow ever greater debauchery by their ruling elite. But because they used the magical "republic" word people assume it is automatically great. Same way the US state and it's biggest champions have legions of defenders today.
