have some 'deranged leftist' go after him possibly before November 2024.

Why have a 'deranged leftist' do it when you could have a 'deranged far-right nutjob' do it? "Disillusioned with Trump, ultraMAGA supporter Righty McWhiterton, using an AR15 assault rifle with a high capacity magazine clip and a bump stock..." I can unfortunately see it already.

Although I think assassination is the last card they'll play; they'd rather stop him by any other means. Even these retards realize that might be a bridge too far. Might. God, I wish normies weren't so fucking normie. It's insane that the US government could conceivably all but openly kill a populist presidential candidate frontrunner, and it's not a guarantee that things would get crazy.

I agree mostly...

also let's be real it wasn't a 'murder' it was an assassination

I used to call these assassinations but since putting politicians in the bottom tier of occupations during Trump's administration, I don't really use the special term for them anymore. It is murder, just of a government official (current or former) to shift power and influence

They did not want him winning

If I recall, Abe had already stepped down from being Prime Minister (due to "health problems") for what was about a year. But he held a lot of influence over the public, like Trump, because he actually was trying to fix the problems Japan was having while keeping the focus on the nation. It's like putting an old man in a retirement home, sure he has some issues but is mostly fine, and then putting him to death because he talks too much to people outside and motivates them to be better.

They won’t kill Trump. If that was on the table, it would have already happened. This indicates that his untimely death would be a legitimate red line; their simulations point to literal civil war if he is killed.
