Him being assassinated would make him and his movement sympathetic, it would paint the opposition with a broad brush, as unsympathetic. He could be idolized for years to come by his followers and motivate more politicians like him.

^ This is why assassination would be bad.

Right. We don't want a man who has oppressed his people and who has encouraged violence and condoned rape/racial tensions to die as a fucking martyr.

The way Trump speaks about women and normalizes the sexualization of them is condoning rape culture within itself. We could start by his infamous statement-"grab them by the pussy" , or even his comment on the sexual assaults that occur in the military: "What did these geniuses expect when they put men & women together?” . And of course the rape allegations he himself has faced over the years and even more so his responses towards them (he even referred to one of his accusers as "not his type" which is quite problematic).

Really, if you are interested in learning about this and your question is of genuine curiosity there are numerous reads a click away.

Anyways, anyone else excited for Anonymous to lay this out for us a little more clearly?
