He did (at least) one good thing in life, and people feel the need to smear him…
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.
I've been saying for eight years he'd be more dangerous as a martyr than his stupid alive self.
