Well there's the publicly funded outdoor Shakespeare theater in New York wherein Julius Caesar is played by a Trump impersonator
Your other examples have merit, but do you know the story of Julius Caesar? That play was if anything, warning against killing Trump. After Caesar died, things really went to s***.
Murdering a caricature of the president is a pretty grim thing to act out, even if the moral is that it would have lots of unintended consequences.
So where was your outrage with any of those hanging Obama caricatures?
Not even the craziest right-wing public figures hung caricatures of Obama, or even endorsed such behavior.
Meanwhile, mainstream leftist news outlets and celebrities will gleefully simulate murdering Trump in grisly ways and publicly call for violence against him and his supporters.
Surely you can see a difference here.
Why do you have to qualify your criticism with "public figures" for? Do people in public have different rights than people in private?
Can you really not see a meaningful difference between the actions of some nobody redneck from Bumfuck Alabama and the actions of a multi-million dollar news outlet with an army of editors and publicists?
I mean the difference in exposure ALONE is enough to warrant extra scrutiny on the part of a media company... ---
