    Who exactly are you thinking of? Most presidents/candidates that got murdered were killed by reactionaries.

        I can’t for the life of me figure out how that comment triggered such a bizarre response from you.

          Yep, was tempted to continue the conversion but their other reply is even more unhinged. I was trying to figure out which event they were talking about, but I guess I’ll never find out.

        Wow, that’s a huge wall of text to show you didn’t understand what I was saying. There’s never been a case of left wing vigilantes successfully killing a fascist or fascist adjacent president.

        Lincoln got killed because he freed the slaves. Kennedy got killed by the CIA (probably) because he didn’t want to keep letting them do coups everywhere.

        Meanwhile nobody murdered Andrew Jackson or any of the other right wing bastards, and those that came close (like Hinckley) didn’t do it for ideology.

        So I’m asking, when was this mythical time in US history where you were killing fascists (domestically)?

        That’s the beauty of it. The right has created an insatiable monster. They don’t pay them, they feed them fear and watch them grow fat. They wait for them to try to overthrow the government like they tried on January 6th and when the treason fails they disavow all knowledge. No money needs to change hands anymore, they just make sure they are well fed.
