Although it may be justifiable from a moral perspective, a Trump assassination would likely lead to the Republican problem becoming even worse as we’ve seen a slight bump in the polls after the attempted assassination, and the other Republicans candidates as just as if not even more of a threat than him.
The short version of the argument being made is basically this; if you think killing fascists will solve fascism, you’re going to need a LOT of bullets to get the job done.
Trump is not the problem, he is the symptom. He’s the GOP with the mask off. The toxicity he represents will not go away with his eventual death, whenever and however that comes.
Basically, you can kill people, not ideas
Also fascists like feeling like victims and REALLY like violence in response to perceived oppression. Murdering them will just embolden their behavior and they’re certainly more depraved and craven than we are
See, that part I don’t agree with. Fascists, for the most part, are cowards, and violence can, in the right circumstances, be a very effective tool in a broader strategy of denying them any form of platform or admission to public spaces. It is both effective, and a moral good, to punch fascists.
To be fair, the right wing of American politics is the one with more guns. Killing the man they love most is begging for trouble.
