I don’t think an assassination attempt on Trump is equal to ending fascism in WWII, although I understand why it is tempting to draw a comparison.
If you want to try normalising and rationalising assassination attempts on world leaders, then don’t act surprised when someone comes for the one you support.
No matter how much you hate Trump, this act should absolutely be condemned.
Tolerating intolerance is intolerant. If you allow there to be people in your government who assassinate communist leaders, lock babies in cages, and deny lifesaving healthcare to minorities, then that stuff is gonna happen. Problems with society member got solved with wishful thinking and fairy dust. They got solved with blood. The Nazis had to be shot. The crusaders had to be stabbed. The conquistadores ought to have got arrows in their throats. It’s the same in fiction, too. Luke Skywalker didn’t get rid of the Death Star by sitting down and talking with Darth Vader, he used a bomb. Frodo and Aragorn didn’t defeat Sauron by voting, they used their swords. The Avengers didn’t debate Thanos into leaving them alone, they cut off his head with a magic axe.
What on earth do you think we’re supposed to do with Nazis except kill them?
I’ve already stated that equating killing Trump to ending fascism is a bit of a stretch. And you can tell me until you’re blue in the face about how much you want Trump killed, I disagree, I think it sets a terrible precedent.
Yh we’ve both been repeating ourselves. I’m not going to change your mind, you’re not going to change mine.
All I have left to say is that I hope that there isn’t someone else out there who thinks it’s OK to kill someone they hate and who then decides that they hate people like you.

I would be very happy if the democrats assassinated Trump and the Republicans killed Biden. Problem solved!
But if you mean “what if the CIA assassinated communist leaders”, uhhhhhh they already do.
I think any endorsement of violence is absolutely terrible and wanting leaders shot is an extremly slippery slope.
That’s not what I meant but it’s also something that I don’t endorse.

This is real life not a fantasy film.
Alright, thanks for dodging the question and regurgitating thought terminating cliches.
