The right in the US is a danger to the whole world with their mindset which seems to driven almost entirely by fear, so they lash out like cornered rats at imagined foes.
Mexicans, Syrians etc. this thread is an example, its a play for fucks sake.
If Obama was in power they'd have a black president being stabbed in the play.

Making sure the world is still livable for their grandkids is not something the right is worried about.

I really hate to spoil anything, so I'll just whisper this.

The guy playing Caesar? He's an actor. He's not really dead. See, he stands, awaiting your applause.

Oh and Trump? He's not dead either. In fact, I seem to understand that publicly calling for the death of a sitting president is illegal; so if you or anyone truly see this as incitement, one would think you'd be doing more about it than complaining on an atheist forum.

Well, that's a bit harsh. I happen to know for a fact that Minimalist is NOT a 'stupid ass communist fuck'. I know this because I happen to be the regional membership secretary for Stupid Ass Communist Fucks International, and Min isn't on any of our mailing lists. So there.

Boru

Well, shit. Put the goofy fucker on your list. He'd be the perfect stupid ass for SACFI.

Ahem! It was Shakespeare! Have you ever read any of Shakespeare's tragedies? Spoiler alert! There are no winners! Get it?

Possibly, since I was careful not to specify.

It seems you are incapable of seeing nuance, so I'll spell it out for you. Do you understand the point of Julius Caesar? You are busy whinging about this (meanwhile I didn't see any posts about the rightwing crazies calling for the assassination of Obama for 8 years) and either clearly you don't understand Shakespeare (which doesn't surprise me) or even the story of Julius Caesar. 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.

Shakespeare in the Park (and I have been to see shows two different summers) isn't supported by a per play basis. Yes, the land is owned by the city, but to equate that to this play being "taxpayer funded" is just infantile reasoning. Same with the corporate sponsorship---the entire troupe has corporate sponsors, the sponsors didn't sign up for Julius Caesar specifically.

Regardless, it's not even a call to assassinate the president. It's exactly the opposite.
