Does an assassination attempt on a divisive figure like Trump harm or help their political cause in your opinion?
@9QXRT3M2yrs2Y
Assasination should never happen to any political opposition and figures they are people like we are aswell but they should be responsible for what harms theyre causing the citizens in social, economical and environmental states which plays as much of a role aswell i will never condemn any violance towards people it is causing the exact opposite and is harming the democracy

It's concerning to see such actions possibly rallying support for Trump, proving that principled opposition is always preferable to dangerous extremes.
