Ideological assassinations are a huge step in the wrong direction. Once you open the door to violence in place of speech and exchange of ideas, it’s a bad place. Everyone should condemn this. Do you honestly believe it’s a good idea to start killing people? Who is next? It’s not always going to be people you disagree with, and ANY murders need to be condemned.
That depends on who is emboldened by the news.
Right-wingers might “good riddance, I got mine”
Left-wingers might “hey, we could get democracy back”
I’m just sick of waiting around while the world slowly gets fucked over
get on with it and get it over with. hopefully the not-nazis win
You can’t murder your way into democracy.
Tell that to France.
…where do you think most democracies came from?
Not from murdering people who speak their opinions.

Facts don’t care about your feelings.
The irony of using the American revolution to justify murdering people for speaking their opinion…
You claimed it is impossible to murder your way into democracy, I gave you an example of people murdering their way into democracy.
Shifting the goalposts to be about ‘muh freeze peaches’ is weak.
No your example is just really really bad
What’s wrong with the example? The revolutionaries killed until they were able to establish a democracy, directly refuting your claim.
The infrastructure for democracy is already there. It’s just been shelved temporarily by the current admin.

This is just the trolley problem. If you can save 5 people by killing 1, is it correct to do so, or take no action?
Well, we’ve got lots of people taking no action, and look where that’s got us.
You don’t get to just kill people that you suspect are evil. This isn’t some complicated ethical dilemma.
