The only people raging about this guy getting his due are members of his class, the media.
I don't disagree, but still there are people happy and unhappy. I was making a simple comparison that in all cases people are glad and people raging. In every statement I've made it has been factually correct, it just seems people are trying to make it more complex of a statement than it is.
Because it’s not correct. Most people are fucking thrilled to see this guy killed, or at least certainly not upset about it. Quit your enlightened centrist nonsense.
To your earlier point, if the attempt on Trump succeeded there’s a damn good chance it would of sparked a civil war or at least a significant conflict like the troubles in northern ireland. As you can see, the killing of this guy is not sparking anything like that but fire memes and a fired up populace ready for the next deserving CEO to meet a similar fate.
Don't act like you know what I think, I never said anything like that - FFS I just said some people angry some people happy. That's not centrist, I was making a simple statement. Go fuck yourself! I don't give a shit that this guy got capped. I wouldn't give a shit if trump got killed either. One less POS on the earth making my kids futures fucked up.
Trump getting killed makes him a martyr to his supporters. We can’t give him the satisfaction. It’s strategy to keep him from being offed, at least for now until he starts to prove himself to be the next hitler. Better he die of natural causes from his poor diet and advancing age.
If trump is assassinated this country falls to sectarian violence. If problematic CEOs get assassinated this country shrugs and goes on about their day, with a smile on their face. So what they tighten their private security? A motivated killer find their way around it. What’s the government gonna do? Surveil us further? Put neuralinks in our brains and zap us when we wrongthink?
