Im still here. Though I do have a life, wife, kids, work, outside of this echo chamber. Just because I believe Trump to be an existential threat to democracy, does not mean that I personally support a violation of human rights. Assassination and political killings are insanely wrong. And two wrongs don’t make a right. And this only bolsters him. I really am surprised we aren’t hearing from more leftwing nuts calling this a false flag, given just how convenient this is for Trump. It basically secures him the election. So let’s talk about how he is explicitly intending to end civil service protections and hire a bunch of loyalists so we will return to basically the Spoils system. This will be bad by any measure and will further erode the effectiveness of out government. He has laid the groundwork for 8 years now with his venom (which propaganda you can hear echoed here daily) to sow distrust among the people in all basic American institutions like the courts and the media. So now you are all gleefully following his plans. You are literally handing over your democracy. Within 4 years there will be absolutely nobody left in any position of power to question almighty Trump.
