    I’m talking about as a response to him being murdered vs. not. Didn’t think i needed to explain the context of my comment.

    I disagree with this completely. I believe if he had been killed his supporters would massively ramp up the division that exists now

    Editing for the literal context from my original comment.

      That is exactly the point I’m referring to.

      There is nowhere to “ramp up the division” any further, it’s already at the point where the news simply can’t keep up with all the political violence in this country.

      You already don’t ever hear about the FBI and Secret Service following up on death threats to politicians anymore, that stopped being a story decades ago. Bomb threats against institutions like schools are so common that word of them rarely escalates beyond the local area. Mass shootings occur regularly, but only the most egregious ones make the news.

      America has been collapsing for decades now.
