I’m far less concerned about emboldened supporters than I am about the likely backlash by the state. Events like this are always taken as justification for more harsh oppression of the people. Also, Biden now has to make statements sympathetic to Trump. This couldn’t have gone worse - we get the blowback from an attempt, and he’s able to ride this to more popularity.
Assassination isn’t the way, folks. I know you’re hurting, I know you’re disempowered by the electoral system, but Trump and Biden aren’t the core of the problem. You can’t cut the head off because it’s not a snake, it’s a hydra. The way to beat this system is to build alternatives and wean people off of their dependence on it, and deprive it of victims. You have to starve the beast.

And how do you propose we do this considering the only way the system can have alternatives is if the system allows for alternatives which (spoiler) >!it won’t!<.
No worries, a lot of people are stuck in hierarchical realism. We’re programmed for it from the moment we begin school or earlier if we had authoritarian parents. It’s nobody’s fault if they haven’t yet imagined a future without hierarchy.
Edit: It’s also nice to get a genuine reply back, so thanks.
He’s already made those statements and his campaign has ceased all outgoing communications. He doesn’t have to, but he’s a liberal, so he’s not going to let an opportunity to lose pass him by.
Counter point from my Redneck bloodthirsty ass. If ya kill the leader of a personality cult it tends to implode and they eat eachother for a time. But do it a bit before voting ya dense motherfuckers, maximizing chaos to its fullest effect is practically in on the first page of “terrorism 101” of ya are gonna do a terrorism do it fucken right. Read up on the actions of the IRA for five minutes at the very least, especially if ya wanna be the good guys in the scenario.
Oh and before any folks come at me siting morality, one of my ancestors burnt a couple families alive in their own houses for being proto lost causers just after the American civil war, hell one of the instances was a kin slaying. I practically worship that ancestor.
My morallity is scuffed but atleast im not a fascist.

Direct action; ie: don’t wait for the permission you will never get. Just start building locally, do mutual aid, make one another’s lives better now.

I appreciate the genuine response. It’s good for my cynical ass.

Biden doesn’t have to do shit. He can just ignore it all together.
He’s already made those statements and his campaign has ceased all outgoing communications. He doesn’t have to, but he’s a liberal, so he’s not going to let an opportunity to lose pass him by.
Taking out the fascist figureheads does nothing about the ideology and forces behind the fascism. Make being a Nazi something to be ashamed of again.
