People here agitating for political violence are acting like this legislation is something like police reform or oil production rates when it's actually just a relatively small thing which won't negatively affect anyone in power and is generally considered popular.
He'd probably have got it into the public dialog with a good pop song too.
Honestly the reason this is interesting news is because it's so uncommon, normally governments and the public shift away from whatever violent radicals support because they don't want to be associated or don't want to appear weak.
It's only popular because of the publicity gained by assassinating the country's longest serving Prime Minister though. I don't think a pop song would have hit the mark.
It absolutely has affected people in power, as there were more than just him linked to the UC church (which his association with was the reason he was the chosen target) and they were removed from their positions. Thise still in power have cut ties.
It is indeed an uncommon response though.
