And all I've got is a can of carling and a drop of Captain Morgan's.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

It seems you are incapable of seeing nuance, so I'll spell it out for you..... The murder of Julius Caesar isn't heralded by Shakespeare. It isn't celebrated in the play. The "defenders of democracy" are, in the end, shown to be the enemies of democracy, taking matters into their own hands.
Sure. The so called defenders of democracy are shown in the end to be the enemies of democracy. But why use a Trump look alike and a Melania look alike to prove that point? Why not use the main character himself, Julius Caesar? Or how would it have been taken if an Obama look alike portrayed the role of Caesar?

Point 1 - Julius Caesar abused the office. Much like Trump. Part of the lesson in the play is that Julius Caesar is just as much the enemy of democracy as Brutus and Cassius. It is using art as a lesson we can all learn in the present political climate. Even though the man in power is a tyrant, killing him makes you as bad or worse than the tyrant.
Point 2 - They did, just in print. The actual depiction isn't really necessary for it to get you all ruffled, is it?
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Social commentary?

That's still a thing, right?

Perhaps it would have been perceived as a tragedy!

I does not surprise me he doesn't get it . After all he follows a guy who never reads . And I doubt he has the patients for a play.
As for Obama if at any point he acted like a tyrant .Or his critics had any interest in democracy .You may have had a point.

Most plays have more than 140 characters with spaces.
