    McKinley was assassinated by a disgruntled civil servant. Elon and Trump just made a bunch of those.

      No, McKinley was assassinated by an anarchist, Leon Czolgosz. You may be thinking of president Garfield who was assassinated by Charles Guiteau, who believed he had been promised the ambassadorship to France.

    Both Crooks and Luigi were conservative. Left wingers are milquetoast.

    Edit: TYPO!! Crooks, not Brooks.

      Leon Czolgosz was an anarchist (ergo, leftist) who assassinated McKinley.

      It’s worth considering that the left is weak because the US has spent more resources crushing it than any other ideology, both at home and abroad. It’s not just a recent phenomenon that right wing mass killers get apprehended alive and anyone maybe a bit left gets the shit kicked out of them at best.

        If you have to go back 120 years to find an example, you’re doing it wrong.

          My friend they just explained why you have to go so far back. The US government went absolute psycho mode on leftists in the 1930s at the end of the propaganda-of-the-deed era, deporting and executing people willy nilly often on mere suspicion. Right wing assassins get tried by the book because they aren’t an existential threat to the system, left wing assassins get their entire social milieu extra-judicially murdered.

      Why is brooks even in the same sentence as Luigi? One killed a CEO, one drove a car through a crowd of people lol. I really hope you’re just making a point and not using murder as a bragging point for a political view, that would be terrifying. Not really a flex either “man the left doesn’t have as many murderers on their end, what a bunch of pussies”. Lol.
