Fuck all this "let's not celebrate the gruesome murder of a political opponent" bullshit, the man was a stochastic terrorist. Let's dunk on the douchebag and piss on his grave together. I hope more fascists like him get it through the neck
At most this moved the current administration's timeline forward, and that is truly all.
It's been less than a year and look at this place. National Guard in Chicago was to be their next escalation after troops in LA and DC didn't provoke the reaction they're seeking.
This administration has 100% been deliberately agitating for any kind of violent response to their increasingly fascist actions, to legitimize extraordinary executive powers and military rule among their base. Once their base believes that's necessary, we are fucked.
This will almost certainly produce a violent response from the right, no disagreement there. But not one that wasn't already guaranteed to come our way. There's no amount of playing nice with fascists that ever gets them to stop or even slow down. This administration is elated to have this opportunity.
