LOL! I read an article that this isn't the first time a Shakespearean performance was reflected a bit of the current political atmosphere so who should we be calling "snowflakes" now. BTW, the story of Julius Caesar is more than an assassination plot; otherwise the play would only be 10 minutes long.

Uproar over Trump-themed 'Julius Caesar,' but none for Obama version at Guthrie 5 years ago
The Guthrie Theater and the Acting Company produced the Shakespeare tragedy in 2012 with a black star with a resemblance to Obama. No corporate sponsors bailed.

Thank God we have the freedom to be idiots. It allows us to see who the idiots are. We don't have to hang "Stupid" signs on them. And when we discover they are vulgar or stupid or whatever, we can simply avoid them. The only part of this story that upsets me is that some portion of this nonsense is funded by us, We the Taxpayers. Then again, we should be used to that by now, shouldn't we?
