Every leftist I know is over the moon right now. They are all celebrating this massive expansion of the Overton Window to include literal assassination, and they expect it’s only a matter of time until someone gets him.
Think about that. A huge proportion of the country will be disappointed if/when the leader of the opposition party is not murdered before the election. We’ve officially transitioned into third world shithole.
The problem with a lot of "the right" is they think leftists are just mis-guided and can still be reasoned with on some level. That they don't really mean what they say. No. They really do hate you and want you dead and will do anything to get their way.
Principles are for suckers. Everything is about power. Most "rightists" are horrified by what people like Stalin did but Stalin understood how power actually works. Most boomer cons give you a highschool civics lesson where as Stalin liquidated 20% of the USSR's population to achieve his aims. This is why the right has never won.
I'll bet many who do may be reconsidering that now.
