Why killing Trump is (probably) bad - Some thoughts on the morality and utility of political violence - eviltoast

Although it may be justifiable from a moral perspective, a Trump assassination would likely lead to the Republican problem becoming even worse as we’ve seen a slight bump in the polls after the attempted assassination, and the other Republicans candidates as just as if not even more of a threat than him.

    Yes!

    Morally, I don’t believe in killing humans at all, especially summarily and without due process.
    Self defense being an obvious exception.

    Which would make a strategic purpose moot. However, strategically it’s dumb: half the voting public would likely revolt, violently, and a sizeable portion of the other half would react negatively at the polls.
