In theory, I guess. But when’s the last time that sort of thing actually happened in the U.S.? Even perpetrators of “kirkings” of right-wingers are usually either infighting right-wingers themselves, or are just nutjobs with some motive other than politics entirely (e.g. impressing Jodie Foster).
First of all, it was Massachusetts (edit: damn, I apparently can’t tell m-states apart either), not Michigan (although some articles claim he was planning to target some Michigan politicians too).
Second, that’s proving my point, not refuting it.
The assertion I was challenging was that it was in “our” (i.e. leftist, or at least liberal) repertoire too, but what you cited was the common case of a right-winger targeting progressives, not the other way around.
Other way around. The CEO was the target. Media just tried to throw everyone off the scent, seeing how popular Luigi became. Something something “will not be televised”
Unfortunately we’re only there to take the blame. So if Kirk goes down, it was a twice removed cousin who had a friend whose step father was a furry that one halloween, so obviously trans. And if a judges house burns down, it was a trans person who dressed up as a MAGA idiot with a note written in fence paint on a new box of bullets.

It was state representative Melissa Hortman who was assassinated and she was from Minnesota not Massachusetts.
The CEO of UnitedHealthcare and a CEO of BlackStone would like a word with you the day after Halloween.
Wasn’t the Blackstone one a mistake? The guy was looking for the NFL floor of building, not the head of the real estate fund…

Either way, the only thing stopping it from happening more is the will to carry it out. If they start doing it so can we.

Exactly. It doesnt fucking matter. Even if an actual honest to God leftist does do a terrorism against the establishment, it wouldn’t change anything.
That was a load of horseshit. I’ll never believe that story.
