People are done with being taken advantage of. I don’t condone violence but these corporations being in bed with the government has driven people mad.

I've seen far right Instagram accounts doing this as well. Apparently hating insurance is the one thing both sides have united on.

It started with the Trump assassination attempt.

Now they feel empowered due to leftist support of the would be assassin of Trump.

Why do they always try to put a political slant on it? I’ve seen just as many people on either side of political spectrum calling this guy a hero or at least joking about it.

Yeah that's why I said people in my OP and didn't try to make it political despite the second tweet tying it to only the Left.

No. The media is programming you to believe that.

People have tried to assassinate multiple presidents for over 150 years.

I have that coat in my closet and I was letting my 17 yo try it on recently and telling him it was cool but he wasn’t sure.

I guess I’ll send him this thread.

Right. This goes across the aisle. I’m sure there are leftist who see this simply as a shot at the elites, but in general I think most people see this guy as a symbol of the “just doing my job” sentiment in modern corporate America where the job is to collude with lobbyists and rig the system well beyond what any free market would allow to frick people. I don’t think he deserved to die but it’s hard to deny his job carried some risk of people saying they’ve had enough.

I guess term limits and legal weed aren't the only things we can agree on.

Thats simply due to the large percentage of stupid people who inhabit this country.

If this were truly due to moral reasons, they would advocate killing every elected official we have.

No one has gotten within a quarter of an inch of doing it in my lifetime before July. Plus Trump’s assassination would probably be the most significant assassination since Archduke Franz Ferdinand due to being already on the cusp of World War III and a Civil War. We’d be living in a much worse and vastly different world with a President Elect Nikki Haley or Kamala Harris had MAGA refused to show up after the successful assassination.
