    I viscerally hate the guy, but:

    • Murder is just wrong, and political violence isn’t better when liberals do it than conservatives
    • We don’t need him to become a martyr
    • If he’s dead, we’ll never get a court ruling on his crimes

      Hypothetically, if a handful of psychos attempt to assassinate Biden as retribution, unsuccessfully, we might get a few fascists locked up.

      This will energize his base and he will win the election. It will also mean Republican domination of the House and Senate. The next two years will be a clusterfuck as normal and barriers are demolished and regular people begin to realize they’ve elected fascism. The midterms will begin to look like a blue wave, but then they will point back to moments like this to declare the Democratic party “illegitimate” and remove them from ballot access, if midterm elections happen at all.

      This is the end of any semblance of democracy in the US for at least a generation.
