They definitely knew the public loved Caesar and killed him because of that. Also, Caesar wanted to have himself declared dictator and made a mockery of democratic practices while in politics. I'm ok with the Rubicon analogy people have been making (though I'd liken it more to the Catilinarian Conspiracy), this definitely isn't the comparison to make.
They hated Caesar for being a reformer, it's true, but a reformer who was destroying the Republic, rigged votes with massive bribery, and had his co-consul doused with shit. Not a man conservatives should look up to in general, his charisma, intellect, and military prowess notwithstanding, he was a vain man.
There is a reason our founding fathers adopted pseudonyms such as Cato and Brutus, but not any of the Caesars. Sic semper tyrannis.
Caesar was a socialist who used manufactured consent and useful idiots who love free gimmees to tear down a democratic system that stood between him and absolute power. Brutus was literally draining their swamp, and the real tale to take away is that half a dozen conspirators of greater renown were too afraid to do a damn thing with the daggers they had smuggled in until one hero plunged his dagger first.
The bread was well-deserved relief to the people who were driven out of business and work by slave-owners who had an unfair advantage, much like big businesses today hiring illegals and enjoying bailouts.

Fuck Caesar.

Yup, the solution to socialism is more socialism.
With that mindset you'll cheer when they 'fix' all our problems with UBI and "free" healthcare
