  That depends on who is emboldened by the news.

  Right-wingers might “good riddance, I got mine”

  Left-wingers might “hey, we could get democracy back”

        Not from murdering people who speak their opinions.

        Yeah well that’s a better example than the American revolution anyway, but I guess I view revolution against government as being a little different than murder of a citizen exercising their right to free speech. The French revolution also was fighting to establish a democracy, wherein people could freely exchange ideas and contribute to the shape of government. Democracy doesn’t work if people murder each other instead of discussing things and using your vote to shape government. Violence must be prohibited and overwhelmingly condemned or it devolves into a zero sum game. This isn’t a victory for the left, this is a loss for society, further degradation of our republic.

        The irony of using the American revolution to justify murdering people for speaking their opinion…

      The infrastructure for democracy is already there. It’s just been shelved temporarily by the current admin.

        Ideological assassinations are a huge step in the wrong direction. Once you open the door to violence in place of speech and exchange of ideas, it’s a bad place. Everyone should condemn this. Do you honestly believe it’s a good idea to start killing people? Who is next? It’s not always going to be people you disagree with, and ANY murders need to be condemned.

  I don’t think anybody thinks the United Healthcare CEO was a martyr, why would it be different here?
