Our founding fathers did not give the Redcoats due process of law to protect their right to life and liberty.
One did: John Adams, who represented the Redcoats who instigated the Boston Massacre. Because the rule of law matters he defended them.
So while I agree that the friend/enemy distinction needs to be drawn, there are traditional, civilizationally-important controls around the violence which threatens to be unleashed. There are forms of process and warrants for actions, especially violent actions, which are to be taken against your enemies-- and this is baked into the American Tradition. If you resort to unrestrained violence, you undermine your Causus Belli. You lose the support you'd have if you fought a Just War.
To be fair, most of those oblivious, politically divested real world people eventually just tend to do what they're told by whichever small group is willing to play the game of political king of the hill and is currently winning.
They might not want people dead themselves, but if the media propaganda machine tells them it's necessary often enough, the vast majority won't do anything to stop it and a disturbing number will even help in small logistical ways whilst claiming they still don't like it.
Differences in opinion should not result in violence. Ever.
Unjust action without the option for recourse is a different matter entirely.
Side note: a healthy fear of assassination in all politicians is a good thing.
This is how the common nigger acts. Its why we cant have nice things.
Idk man the best countries in history were built on a foundation of TRYING to live by those standards.

Sic pacem, para bellum.
In the real world, barely anyone wants other people dead over differences of opinion.
The real world is not 4chan and politicians. The real world is people whose lives don't revolve around politics.

Normies revolving around the gibs isn't much better.
Ahem, I live in Europe. These people pay for the gibs.
