    What kind of a road do you think we’re on right now?

    Imagine no more assassination attempts.

    Trump wins.

    Project 2025 is enacted.

    Jews, Hispanics and LGBTQs are rounded up and thrown in concentration camps.

    The signs are there. Are you going to still be sitting on a high horse right up until the moment it happens? What then, you turn around and stave off the fourth Reich with whoever’s left?

    Will you be happy then?

      It’s not even about the moral issue, although I think murdering your political opponents is wrong. Just think it through practically. Killing Trump doesn’t stop project 2025. There’s going to be quite a few names on that list if you want to solve this situation through violence.

      You have a process to prevent this from happening right now, the same one that prevented it last time. Ironically this attempt will likely just make things worse assuming there is no retaliatory violence from the other side.

      The whole situation is super fucked up either way. I wish you all the best for your country, it seems like it’s going to be pretty bad for a while at least.
