      Part of me wishes they didn’t, part of me wonders who would use his martyrdom to do even worse.

      I’m a flaming liberal, but I’m honestly revolted that, as I write this, your comment has a bunch of upvotes and no downvotes.

          How you could hate him? I understand. I have a nonbinary kid, and I’m against what he stands for. But advocating for political assassination is just wrong. We don’t punish people for crimes they haven’t yet committed, and we don’t support vigilantism.

          We need to vote out fascist Republicans, not kill them.

            You know Trump was already president once, right? It’s not like it’s a secret that he’s anti-LGBTQ people.

            We Made A List Of All The Anti-LGBT Stuff Trump Has Done As President from 2018, it includes

            • Saying it’s legal to fire workers for being transgender.

            • Arguing that it’s legal to fire workers for being gay.

            • Making transgender female prisoners live with male prisoners.

            • Telling the Supreme Court that shopkeepers can turn away LGBT customers.

            • Withdrawing protections for transgender students.

            • Refusing to investigate anti-transgender discrimination complaints in public schools.

            • Trying to kick transgender people out of the military.

            • Issuing a religious liberty policy.

            • Starting to rescind protections for transgender patients.

            and their list goes on.

            The Trump administration on Friday finalized a rule that would remove nondiscrimination protections for LGBTQ people when it comes to health care and health insurance from 2020

            A controversial new rule that could allow homeless shelters to turn away transgender people based on physical appearance is the Trump administration’s latest attempt at restricting trans rights. also from 2020

            I’m not sure it’s possible to get a full picture of everything Trump did wrong, even if you narrow it down to specific topics like LGBT rights. A lot of these things aren’t crimes, but that’s only because he was the one writing the laws and policies.

              I honestly understand all that, and believe it’s vitally important that he’s defeated. But assassinating political rivals is literally a characteristic of fascism.

                It literally isnt: fascism is capitalism in crisis and assassinations have gone on for most of human history, before the development of capitalism in the first place

        You libs drone all the time in every media how the guy is an enemy of democracy, second coming of Hitler and needs to be stopped for any price. Yet you are “revolted” when someone taken it seriously.

        Do you not realize how terrible it is that he missed? You of all people as a “flaming liberal” should be the most angry. This essentially secures trumps presidency, its the best thing that could have happened to his campaign.

          First of all, that’s bullshit. As I said in another thread:

          The electorate is viscerally polarized, and very few people are on the fence about who to vote for - maybe some undecided about whether they’ll vote at all. I can’t imagine there are many people who are going to switch from Biden to Trump because of this, or who will even go from undecided to Trump. It makes no sense.

          Second, my political activism stops short of murder. Apparently that doesn’t go far enough for you. That doesn’t make me a troll.

            Dont get me wrong, assassinations are stupid and rarely accomplish much of value. No single human is responsible for the state of our society, it is much more institutional than that. Only a dismantling of the current systems could actually inact change. HOWEVER, if trump was murdered I would gloat and I feel no shame in that.

            Also them missing is gonna make MAGA people really annoying for a while
