At least when the target is generally regarded as evil by 90% of people. Just look at the front page of reddit, it's wall to wall shitting on UHC and being oddly supportive of violence for civility liberals (i'm assuming the astroturfers don't have a coherent line yet)

    It depends

    We won't know the consequences of this for some time

    We saw withthe-doohickey the total distancing of Japanese politics from the Unification Church, but Japan is a far cry from the USA and you can already see the media attempting to corral the message being put out there

    There is an opportunity here though, because people across the political spectrum hate the current system of health insurance

    Use this moment as an opportunity to point out that Brian Thompson, as CEO of UHC, was responsible for thousands, if not more, deaths

    Deaths that could have been prevented if they hadn't chosen to put their profits above people's health and well-being

    Expose that inherent evil and get people on the path to becoming class-concious
