How the shit does someone not just Lee Harvey Oswald this man already? There've been better men killed for worse reasons.

It's mostly right wingers who murder for political reasons. When you know deep down your worldview is a snakepit, that's when you decide to take the law into your own hands like that.

OK so this was Interesting so I dug into it

John Wilkes Booth was part of the Know Nothing Party a left leaning party

Lee Harvey Oswald was a socialist which is left leaning

Both women that shot at Gerald R Ford were part of different left leaning programs

Actually looks like most of the assissinations are done from left leaning individuals. Not that I'm taking sides on that matter just a cursory Google search

Considering what these presidents were doing politically when they were assassinated for their politics, this sounds like a mighty convenient narrative for a dogmatically anti-communist state to feed to the populace after the fact.

OK for what one? It's common knowledge about both Lee Harvey Oswald (who went to russia) and John Wilkes Booth. Squeeky fromme (who tried ti shoot Ford) was a member of the Manson cult you can look on Wikipedia for that if you want here is the Wikipedia link for Sara Moore https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sara_Jane_Moore
