Are there warnings from ancient history about excessive polarization? Absolutely. But there are also lots of warnings about the dangers posed by ambitious men seeking power and by cowardly politicians too scared to restrain them.
Impeachment is not Scipio Nasica rushing out with a mob to kill Tiberius Gracchus. It is a constitutional process holding a corrupt executive responsible for his actions. Had the Romans held a Nasica, a Marius, a Sulla accountable, they may well not have had a Caesar.
Anyway, Castor's ancient history is almost as bad as his lawyering. Clearly they should have picked Pollux for the defense team instead.
One (rather grim) question I have is, could they have held Marius and Sulla responsible? My admittedly vague impression of the period is that they more or less raised personal armies, and would have threatened civil war as the price for accountability...
Marius yes, after 100 (but obviously not in 86). Sulla - the window would have been small given that his time as a private citizen after his dictatorship was short. One thing to do though would have been to not elevate Sulla's two lieutenants - Pompey and Crassus.
