i've been to a few rodeos over the years, but apparently not enough to realize that there's a 'long tradition of rodeo clowns wearing presidential masks'. i don't tend to get riled up about the political environment, but it is interesting the firestorm over a mask in one part of the country and the embracing of said shenanigans in another part. seems like most people are way too sensitive these days, and that goes for both sides of the aisle.
