Well put. There's a reason why there are plenty of armed Freikorps wannabe groups openly on the prowl, who only get the stick when they become too much of a liability to the state.
I don't think so, it was the same thing when people thought Bernie would be assassinated if he became president. The US must manage a fine line between outright dictatorship and the democracy circus. Straight up murdering politicians is something you are supposed to read on some obscure CNN article about a third world country election, not in the US.
The better argument was that he would be mostly ineffectual on most issues including foreign policy. It is much easier to control Bernie than to kill him and risk the legitimacy of the empire. For AOC this is not even an issue, being a communist in US politics is even more useless.
She can believe that all she wants though, it is more comforting for these western libs to think they can't do shit out of personal sacrifice or safety than straight up admitting to being a damn coward.

JFKs presidential election campaign in 1960 ran on a confrontational policy with the USSR. He claimed that a missle gap had been allowed to develop and promised steep increases in military spending to meet this, when the Corona spy satellites brought back photo reconnaissance showing that the USSR had just four ICBMs capable of hitting the continental United States this generated no change in policy at all, he authorized the Bay of Pigs Invasion, he was belligerent throughout the Cuban Missile Crisis refusing to remove Atlas missiles form Turkey in exchange for the USSR removing its missiles from Cuba even though they were obsolete and earmarked for retirement when the Polaris SSBN became operational because of the insistence on the right of America to place missiles anywhere it chose, he then authorized Operation Mongoose, he began the planning for the 1964 Brazilian coup, and of course he expanded assisting the friendly dictatorship in Vietnam into an all out war. The man was not looking for "peaceful co-existence" with the USSR except on Americas terms.
Yeah I really don't get that angle on JFK at all. The man was ready for hot war. Makes it all the more confusing to me why he was merked
He wanted to get rid of the CIA for fucking up the bay of oinks
yeah, thats what I assumed it was as well. I think its actually more telling that they would kill him over that.
O word, yes that will do it. Thanks comrade, I wasn't aware of that part of the history.

That is true, but imo that was also 70 years ago, the USSR no longer exists, the US won and the point is that now they must maintain their legitimacy.
Killing Bernie, then kill AOC, then someone kills Abe and suddenly people in the west may start having funny ideas that killing politicians is cool and good actualy.
Besides what is likely to radicalize "far leftists" as they say? Seeing Bernie spend 4 years doing nothing or AOC doing some communist roleplay and getting dunked? Or seeing leftist in power getting murdered one by one.

Most of the people doing this are probably in groups run by FBI informants.
Doesn't rule out them shooting people historically
New theory just dropped: we push socdems left by being the only people willing to do security for them (and we are ancoms and Marxist commies).
gotta be real with you champ im not taking a bullet for a socdem
but it's not a bad idea
Guess you can't do security anywhere in the US then heyoooo
