As a thought exercise: if he succeeded, doesn’t that only further incite the right, convince them that they are fighting the holy fight, and accelerate violence against the citizenry?

I don’t like Trump either so I get the feeling behind the message, but I don’t see any universe where a successful assassination attempt is a net positive for the country. Seems like it only furthers division and probably leads to a worse place overall.

Would love to know how I’m wrong though.

You assume I would think you’re wrong. I do not.

Morally, assassination is despicable. But so is fascism.

I applaud you for taking the high road, while I just say Fuck ‘em all. Fascism should not be tolerated, even in a democracy.

Ah yes, the high road, the best know cure for and deterrent of fascism... 🙄

Could be if we toss all the fascists off

True..

Though an "it" at the end of that sentence would have gone a long way to reduce my initial confusion lmao😂

To toss off
